Article Synopsis
  • - Articular cartilage in horses can be effectively imaged using ultrasonography, especially in cases of osteochondrosis, which affects common areas like the fetlock.
  • - A study measuring cartilage thickness in young horses found that ultrasonography had better accuracy compared to computed tomographic arthrography (CTA), with the best results at the distal sagittal ridge of the third metacarpal bone.
  • - While there was overall weak agreement between ultrasonography and histology, the findings indicated that cartilage thickness decreases with age, emphasizing the usefulness of ultrasonography for assessing cartilage in young horses.
