    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study investigated 490 bone sequestra in horses and cattle, finding most in the third metatarsal and metacarpal bones. Soft tissue injury and infection are key to sequestration development, with favorable surgical outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine and Bovine Orthopedics
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Bone sequestra are necrotic bone fragments that can lead to chronic infections and lameness in animals.
    • Understanding the common locations and pathogenesis of sequestra is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the anatomical distribution of bone sequestra in horses and cattle.
    • To identify common clinical signs associated with bone sequestra.
    • To discuss diagnostic methods and pathogenesis of sequestration.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 490 cases of bone sequestra in horses and cattle.
    • Documentation of sequestra location, clinical signs, and diagnostic imaging findings.

    Main Results:

    • The proximal half of the third metatarsal and third metacarpal bones were the most common sites for sequestra.
    • Frequent clinical signs included swelling, draining tracts, impaired function, and delayed wound healing.
    • Radiological examination is recommended for diagnosis confirmation.

    Conclusions:

    • Soft tissue injury and infection play a more significant role in the pathogenesis of sequestration than cortical trauma or reduced circulation.
    • Surgical treatment is generally straightforward with a favorable prognosis.
