Training practices, speed and distances undertaken by Thoroughbred racehorses in Victoria, Australia
Morrice-West A, Hitchens P, Walmsley E, Stevenson M, Whitton R
Equine Vet J
. 2019 Aug;
52(2):273-280.
PMID: 31386764
Background: Musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) in racehorses are commonly due to bone fatigue, a function of the number of cycles (strides) and the magnitude of load applied to the limb. These...

Whitton R, Walmsley E, Wong A, Shannon S, Frazer E, Williams N, et al.
Vet J
. 2019 Apr;
247:44-49.
PMID: 30971350
Long bone fractures in racehorses may present as stress fractures which have a good prognosis, or complete fractures, which often result in a fatal outcome. In order to identify differences...

Hitchens P, Morrice-West A, Stevenson M, Whitton R
Vet J
. 2019 Mar;
245:29-40.
PMID: 30819423
Studies of racehorse injury or fatality in various countries have identified common, and in some cases conflicting, risk factors. We conducted a systematic search of the relevant literature published from...

Walmsley E, Jackson M, Wells-Smith L, Whitton R
Equine Vet J
. 2019 Feb;
51(6):720-726.
PMID: 30793363
Background: Subchondral bone injury at the palmar/plantar aspect of the condyles of the third metacarpal/metatarsal bone (MC/MT3) commonly causes lameness and poor performance in racehorses. Injury occurs due to repetitive...

Whitton R, Ayodele B, Hitchens P, Mackie E
Equine Vet J
. 2018 Apr;
50(6):766-773.
PMID: 29660153
Background: Microdamage accumulation leads to subchondral bone injury and/or fracture in racehorses. An understanding of this process is essential for developing strategies for injury prevention. Objectives: To quantify subchondral bone...

Bani Hassan E, Mirams M, Mackie E, Whitton R
Aust Vet J
. 2017 Sep;
95(10):362-369.
PMID: 28948629
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of microscopic subchondral bone injury in the distal metacarpi/tarsi of Thoroughbred racehorses and associations with recent and cumulative training history. Methods: Metacarpi/metatarsi were obtained from...

Williamson A, Sims N, Thomas C, Lee P, Stevenson M, Whitton R
Equine Vet J
. 2017 Aug;
50(2):255-260.
PMID: 28833497
Background: Palmar/plantar osteochondral disease (POD) and third metacarpal/-tarsal condylar fractures are considered fatigue injuries of subchondral bone (SCB) and calcified cartilage due to repetitive high loads in racehorses. In combination...

Equine Vet J
. 2015 Jan;
48(2):228-33.
PMID: 25582246
Reasons For Performing Study: To gain a better understanding of the aetiology of articular surface collapse in horses with palmar osteochondral disease. Objectives: To determine whether acceleration of focal bone...

Vet J
. 2014 Oct;
202(3):443-7.
PMID: 25296852
Bone is repaired by remodelling, a process influenced by its loading environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a change in loading environment on bone...

Equine Vet J
. 2014 Jun;
47(4):428-32.
PMID: 24964378
Reasons For Performing Study: High-resolution 3D imaging may improve the prediction and/or early identification of condylar fractures of the distal metacarpus/tarsus and reduce the frequency of breakdown injury in racehorses....
