Arthrodesis, the surgical fusion of a joint, is a final treatment option for horses when other therapies fail. Successful joint fusion requires careful cartilage removal, proper alignment, and stabilization for optimal limb function.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Orthopedics
  • Equine Surgery

Background:

  • Arthrodesis is a salvage procedure for equine limb injuries when conservative treatments fail.
  • It involves surgical joint fusion to achieve bony ankylosis and restore limb stability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the principles and considerations for successful equine arthrodesis.
  • To highlight the importance of case selection in arthrodesis procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Debridement of articular cartilage down to subchondral bone.
  • Alignment of the affected joint into a functional weight-bearing position.
  • Rigid stabilization of the joint to promote fusion.

Main Results:

  • Successful arthrodesis results in bony ankylosis, eliminating joint motion.

  • The specific techniques vary depending on the joint being treated.
  • Not all equine joints are suitable candidates for arthrodesis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Arthrodesis is a viable option for specific equine joints when other treatments are unsuccessful.
    • Careful surgical technique, including debridement, alignment, and stabilization, is crucial.
    • Judicious case selection is paramount for achieving favorable outcomes in equine arthrodesis.
