The horse is still used as a working animal, harnessed in a sled or wheeled chariots
loaded with cargo several times heavier than the horse itself. There are no data on the extent
of cartilage lesions in the fetlock joints of front and hind legs of working horses. The aim of
the study was to determine the size and position of gross cartilage lesions in front and hind
metacarpo-phalangeal (fetlock) joints of working horses.
Front and hind legs were collected from a local abattoir after the working horses were
slaughtered for the reasons not related to this study. The study was conducted on eight horses
from 5 to 12 years old (mean 8.625 ± 0.91 years), with a body weight of 550 ± 29.46 kg. Thirty two fetlock joints were examined for external gross anatomy changes. After joint dissection, the
cartilage of metacarpal and metatarsal bones was stained with blue ink and photos were taken.
The cartilage lesions were stained deep blue, in contrast to light blue surface of the ...undamaged
cartilage. The anatomical position of the lesions was recorded. The ImageJ software was used
to measure the total surface of the cartilage and the surface of the cartilage under the lesions.
The dimension of the lesions was expressed as a percentage of the total cartilage surface and
presented as mean ± standard error.
Gross anatomy changes like skin lesions, wounds, joint oedema or any type of
deformities were not observed. The position of the cartilage lesions was symmetrical and
occupied lateral and medial metacarpal and metatarsal condyles next to the sagittal ridge. The
lesions on the lateral condyles had the same surface area like those on the medial, 12.3 ± 1.03%
versus 10.7 ± 0.99%, respectively. The cartilage lesions on the front legs (23.62 ± 1.68%) were
broader than those on the hind legs (22.5 ± 3.35%).
The results of this pilot study indicate no difference between metacarpal and metatarsal
cartilage surface lesions. Further studies are indicated to determine the severity of cartilage and
putative subchondral bone lesions by histologic evaluation
