The clinical and radiological features of fractures of the shoulder region in 16 horses are described. High quality radiographic views were essential for an accurate diagnosis. This sometimes necessitated general anaesthesia. The limitations of radiography are discussed. Nine horses had articular fractures of the supraglenoid tuberosity and eight of these were destroyed because of persistent lameness. The possibility of surgical removal of the fracture fragment(s) is discussed and the importance of early diagnosis emphasised. Seven other fractures of the shoulder region are described. The clinical outcome depended upon the location and nature of the fracture.
本文描述了16匹马肩部骨折的临床和放射学特征。高质量的X光片对于准确诊断至关重要。有时这需要全身麻醉。文中讨论了放射学检查的局限性。9匹马出现了肩胛上结节的关节骨折，其中8匹因持续跛行而致残。文中讨论了手术取出骨折碎片的可能性，并强调了早期诊断的重要性。还描述了其他7例肩部骨折。临床结果取决于骨折的部位和性质。
