A controlled study evaluating a novel surgical treatment for kissing spines in standing sedated horses.

Objective: To compare the results of a novel minimally invasive surgical technique with intralesional corticosteroid medication, as treatment for overriding dorsal spinous processes (ORDSP) in horses.

Study Design: Retrospective controlled clinical case series.

Animals: Horses (n = 68) with ORDSP.

Repulsion of maxillary and mandibular cheek teeth in standing horses.

Objective: To report the technique and results of cheek teeth repulsion in standing, sedated horses.

Study Design: Case series.

Animals: Horses (n = 12), ponies (6).

Computed tomography to identify preoperative guidelines for internal fixation of the distal sesamoid bone in horses: an in vitro study.

Objective: To assess the reliability of computed tomography (CT) to identify the direction of implant insertion for cortical screws along the longitudinal axis of intact (nonfractured) distal sesamoid bones.

Study Design: In vitro study.

Sample Population: Cadaveric paired equine forelimbs (n=16).
