Subchondral cyst-like lesions in the distal portion of the radius of four horses

J Am Vet Med Assoc. 1988 Oct 15;193(8):949-52.

Abstract

Four horses with subchondral cyst-like lesions in the medial radial facet of the distal portion of the radius were examined. Joint effusion and signs of pain from flexion of the antebrachiocarpal joint were not observed, but lameness was observed in 3 of the 4 horses. Regional nerve blocks and intra-articular anesthesia were used to localize the lesions, and conservative treatment resulted in soundness for performance.
