Incomplete linear tibial fractures in two horses

J Am Vet Med Assoc. 1988 Feb 15;192(4):522-4.

Abstract

Incomplete linear tibial fractures were identified in two horses with the aid of scintigraphy. Both horses were treated successfully by strict stall confinement, and both returned to normal athletic activity. Scintigraphy can be used to facilitate the generally difficult diagnosis of incomplete tibial fractures.
