The results of 31 intracortical dorsal metacarpal stress fractures in 28 horses following unicortical osteostixis were reviewed. The incidence was predominately in the middle third of the lateral aspect of the left metacarpus, and males were affected more commonly. Approximately half of the surgical procedures were performed with the horse in the standing position. The mean times to return to training and racing were 4.25 and 6.9 months respectively. There was no correlation between time taken to return to racing and position of surgery. Complications experienced included lack of suture removal and one case with a seroma.
对28匹马在进行单皮质骨皮质切开术后发生的31例皮质内背侧掌骨应力性骨折的结果进行了回顾。发病率主要集中在左掌骨外侧中三分之一处，雄性马更易受影响。大约一半的手术是在马站立的姿势下进行的。恢复训练和比赛的平均时间分别为4.25个月和6.9个月。恢复比赛所需时间与手术位置之间没有相关性。经历的并发症包括缝线未拆除和1例出现血清肿。
