Condylar Fractures in Horses: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention 🐎

In the world of high-performance horses, skeletal health is a cornerstone of a long and active life. A condylar fracture is a specific type of injury to the cannon bone often associated with the repetitive stress of racing, jumping, or working on hard surfaces.

What to keep in mind for general wellness:

Conformation Matters: Understanding your horse’s natural leg structure helps in tailoring their exercise routine.

Conditioning: Gradual training increments help bones adapt to increased loads.

Nutritional Support: A foundation of essential minerals supports the body’s natural ability to maintain bone density.

By prioritizing recovery and mindful training surfaces, we can support our horses in staying sound and comfortable.

Resurgery of Malaligned Subcondylar Fracture of the Mandible This young man had been involved in a motor vehicle accident approximately a month ago and had suffered a left subcondylar fracture of the mandible. He had been operated in a bigger hospital, but the fracture reduction had been mismanaged with poor reduction of the fractured segments and resultant malocclusion. There was also an unsightly scar from the extraoral approach adopted to perform the surgery. He had problems with eating subsequently and frequently heard grinding noises from the fracture site. A local surgeon had then referred him to our hospital for corrective surgery. Imaging studies obtained at our hospital revealed a poorly reduced fracture with a gap between the fracture segments. Examination revealed that he had malocclusion. The fracture site was accessed through the old scar and the plates were removed. If the patient had presented to us at the time of the fracture, we would have accessed the fracture site intraorally to avoid scar formation (using an internal fixing system). The fracture segments were correctly aligned and occlusion was checked. It was then stabilized with plates and screws. Patient was very happy that his occlusion had been set right and he was able to eat well again. 📞 Phone: [phone] 📬 Email: [email protected] 🌍 Website: www.smbalaji.com 📍 Location: Chennai, India #RTA #rodtrafficaccident #accident #fracture #condylar #drsmbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #maxillofacialsurgeon #maxillofacialsurgery #india #chennai #tamilnadu #surgery (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBsrEzSnl_j/?igshid=gs2f0xjkfg5k
