Abstract

Thirty three working polo ponies were subjected to clinical and radio-graphic examinations. Fourteen (42.4) were fetlock joint swellings 9(273) restricted joint flexion 13 (39.4) pain on flexion and 13 (39.4) positif flexion test. It was also found that 23 (69.7) had various periosteal roughening and new bone growth in the distal third metacarpus (30.3) and second phalanx (15.1). Other lesions seen were ossification of suspensory ligament (21.2) and distal sesamoidean ligament (6.1) chip fracture (24.2) splints (9.1) and sesamoid bone fracture (18.2). Age frequency of games and training years of use and conformation are associated with clinical findings (fetlock swelling flexion angle flexion pain and flexion test) and with lesions in distal third metacarpus and second phalanx and with chip fracture and osselets.
