Abstract: OBJECTIVE To evaluate bone mineral content patterns between fracture configurations using novel CT image analysis. ANIMALS CT images from 97 Thoroughbred racehorses with third metacarpal/tarsal condyle fractures provide the case population for analysis. PROCEDURES Fractures… read more here.
