During 1975 and 1976, 70 Standardbred horses with cunean bursitis-tarsitis were treated by cunean tenectomy or by more conservative approaches (rested, given corticosteroid injections in the cunean bursa and distal hock articulations, given an oral course of phenylbutazone, a combination of these) or were sold. In 1975, owners were urged to have cunean tenectomy done to horses that appeared to have potential to race well, and in 1976, the more conservative methods of management and treatment were recommended. Statistical analysis of racing performance data led to the conclusion that there was no difference between the effect of these treatment approaches on racing performance during the rest of the year and the following calendar year.
在1975年和1976年期间，对70匹患有楔肌黏液囊炎 - 跗关节囊炎的标准赛马进行了楔肌切除术或采用更保守的方法（休息、在楔肌黏液囊和跗关节远端注射皮质类固醇、口服保泰松疗程、这些方法的组合）治疗，或者将马出售。1975年，敦促马主对那些似乎有潜力在比赛中表现出色的马进行楔肌切除术，而在1976年，则推荐采用更保守的管理和治疗方法。对比赛成绩数据的统计分析得出结论，这些治疗方法对当年剩余时间和次年比赛成绩的影响没有差异。
