Osteochondral fragments detected in the proximal interphalangeal joint in the pelvic limbs of 3 horses (2 Standardbreds and 1 Thoroughbred) caused joint enlargement and lameness. Fragments were removed by use of arthroscopy. Accurate placement of the arthroscope into the dorsal joint space was necessary to obtain an adequate view of the fragments. After surgery, 2 of the horses resumed racing without joint problems, and the third was in training to race. High-detail radiographs are necessary to detect osteochondral fragments in horses with joint enlargement or lameness localized to the proximal interphalangeal joint.
在3匹马（2匹标准赛马和1匹纯种马）的骨盆肢近端指间关节中检测到的骨软骨碎片导致关节肿大和跛行。通过关节镜手术取出碎片。必须将关节镜准确放置在背侧关节间隙，以便充分观察碎片。手术后，其中2匹马恢复比赛，没有关节问题，第三匹马正在训练准备比赛。对于近端指间关节肿大或跛行的马匹，需要高清晰度X光片来检测骨软骨碎片。
