Indications for performing orthopedic surgery on the standing horse include inability to tolerate general anesthesia, risk of worsening an injury during recovery from anesthesia, and cost. The surgeon should be aware that performing surgery in the standing horse can be more demanding and require more experience than the same procedures when the time and convenience of general anesthesia are available. Improved sedatives and analgesics have allowed more latitude because the horses now are more tolerant than when older agents were used. Common sense should be applied to each situation before the decision is made to do a procedure, because every horse and problem is unique.
对站立的马进行矫形手术的指征包括无法耐受全身麻醉、麻醉恢复过程中损伤恶化的风险以及成本。外科医生应该意识到，与在可以进行全身麻醉且方便的情况下进行相同手术相比，在站立的马身上进行手术要求更高，需要更多经验。改进后的镇静剂和镇痛药提供了更大的灵活性，因为现在的马比使用旧药物时更能耐受。在决定进行手术之前，应对每种情况运用常识，因为每匹马和每个问题都是独特的。
