Fifty-one horses and unilateral or bilateral femorotibial arthrotomy with medial condyle bone cyst curettage. A total of 60 cyst were treated. Treated horses responded to the surgery three to 12 months postoperatively. In 42 horses lameness was reduced or eliminated, enabling them to return to an remain in their intended function. Of these 42 horses 35 are sound, four of which have not started training, and seven showed partial improvement, two of which had no long term follow up. Of the remaining nine horses, two showed no reduction in lameness and seven were not followed up. Arthrotomy was successful in reducing or eliminating lameness in 82 per cent of all horses and 95 per cent of those where follow-up was possible (42 of 44). Arthrotomy with subchondral bone cyst enucleation and curettage was determined to be a satisfactory treatment in anticipation of a variety of athletic activities.
51匹马接受了单侧或双侧股胫关节切开术并刮除内侧髁骨囊肿。共治疗了60个囊肿。接受治疗的马匹在术后3至12个月对手术有反应。在42匹马中，跛行减轻或消除，使其能够恢复并保持其预期功能。在这42匹马中，35匹健康，其中4匹尚未开始训练，7匹有部分改善，其中2匹没有长期随访。在其余9匹马中，2匹跛行没有减轻，7匹没有随访。关节切开术在82%的所有马匹以及95%的可随访马匹（44匹中的42匹）中成功减轻或消除了跛行。对于预期的各种体育活动，关节切开术结合软骨下骨囊肿摘除和刮除术被确定为一种令人满意的治疗方法。
