    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Diagnosing tarsal bone osteomyelitis in foals is achievable through clinical and radiological assessments. These methods, including joint fluid analysis, reliably identify this bone infection in young horses.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Equine Orthopedics
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Hematogenous osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection that can affect young horses.
    • The tarsal bones are particularly susceptible due to their complex structure and vascular supply.

    Observation:

    • Nine foals diagnosed with hematogenous osteomyelitis of the tarsal bones were evaluated.
    • The study encompassed clinical, radiological, and pathological assessments.
    • Articular and periarticular effusions in the tarsal region were sampled.

    Findings:

    • Clinical examination, including effusion analysis, proved valuable for diagnosis.
    • Radiological studies were essential in confirming the extent of the bone infection.
    • Combined clinical and radiological approaches provided definitive diagnoses in most foals.
