The arthroscopic findings in 104 intercarpal joints in 76 horses were reviewed to determine the incidence and severity of changes in the medial intercarpal ligament. Damage to the intercarpal ligament was observed in 43 joints in 35 horses, ranging from mild fraying of the edges of the ligament to complete disruption of all fibres. This represented an incidence of 41% of joints being affected. In 9 joints examined arthroscopically primarily as a further diagnostic procedure, ligament damage was evident in all cases. In horses undergoing arthroscopic surgery primarily for the treatment of osteochondral chip or slab fractures, there was some correlation between the severity of articular cartilage damage and the presence of ligament damage.
对76匹马的104个腕骨间关节的关节镜检查结果进行了回顾，以确定内侧腕骨间韧带变化的发生率和严重程度。在35匹马的43个关节中观察到腕骨间韧带损伤，范围从韧带边缘轻度磨损到所有纤维完全断裂。这表明受影响关节的发生率为41%。在最初作为进一步诊断程序进行关节镜检查的9个关节中，所有病例均有明显的韧带损伤。在主要因治疗骨软骨碎片或骨块骨折而接受关节镜手术的马匹中，关节软骨损伤的严重程度与韧带损伤的存在之间存在一定相关性。
