Race day fractures are the most significant injury event and have the greatest negative impact on dog welfare and the industry's social license to operate. This study aimed to describe the incidence and risk factors for race\u2010related fractures in greyhounds racing in Western Australia. Electronic extracts describing race level data and race day injuries were provided by Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA). The incidence rate (IR) of fractures for all greyhound race starts in Western Australia from 1 January 2017\u201331\/12\/2023 was calculated per 1000 starts. Univariable and multivariable models using Poisson regression were used to calculate the IR ratio of fracture type based on race and greyhound\u2010level factors. There were 198,008 racing starts and 662 (n\u2009=\u2009643, 97.1% involving the limbs) fractures resulting in an IR of 3.3 fractures per 1000 starts (95%CI 3.1\u20133.6). Greyhounds that had an injury in their previous race were 2.3 times (95%CI1.4\u20134.3) more likely to have a forelimb fracture than greyhounds that did not have an injury (P\u2009=\u20090.013). The risk of tarsal bone fracture was greater in greyhounds older than 30\u2009months and greyhounds that had not raced in the previous 15\u2009days. Risk factors for fractures in the forelimb were associated with trauma after interference or dog collisions, whereas tarsal fractures were associated with strain and cyclic loading from race training\/racing. Changes to racing structure, rules and policies based on these risk factors may help to reduce fracture incidence in racing greyhounds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/avj.13377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,4]],"date-time":"2024-10-04T11:53:29Z","timestamp":1728042809000},"page":"543-549","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Incidence and risk factors for limb fracture in greyhound racing in Western Australia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"102","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5970-4289","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"MJ","family":"Gibson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Sciences Massey University  Palmerston North 4442 New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"KA","family":"Legg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Sciences Massey University  Palmerston North 4442 New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"EK","family":"Gee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Sciences Massey University  Palmerston North 4442 New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Smet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Racing and Wagering Western Australia  Perth Western Australia 6017 Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Medd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Racing and Wagering Western Australia  Perth Western Australia 6017 Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"McMullen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Racing and Wagering Western Australia  Perth Western Australia 6017 Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L","family":"Auld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Racing and Wagering Western Australia  Perth Western Australia 6017 Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"CW","family":"Rogers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Sciences Massey University  Palmerston North 4442 New Zealand"},{"name":"School of Agriculture and Environment Massey University  Palmerston North 4442 New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/su12051706"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","unstructured":"EagerD HossainMI HayatiH MahdaviFA.review of the track shapes cross\u2010fall race dynamics and injury rates for RWWA.2020;66."},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2022.925948"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2021.737146"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/avj.13064"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1748-5827.1999.tb03117.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.2005.66.1563"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.066720"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S8756-3282(00)00313-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00480169.2012.682957"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tvjl.2012.12.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ani12213028"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/vr.147.18.512"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","unstructured":"Racing and Wagering Western Australia.Annual report.
