Horses with osteochondral fragmentation of the distal aspect of the radius or stress fractures were excluded.

Thirteen (24%) were euthanatized on admission because of (1) fracture severity; (2) presence of an open fracture; or (3) financial constraints. Fourteen (26%) horses with minimally displaced incomplete fractures were conservatively managed and 12 (86%) survived to discharge. Twenty\u2010seven (50%) horses had surgical treatment by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and 15 (56%) survived to hospital discharge. Open fractures were significantly more likely to develop SSI (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.008), which also resulted in a 17\u2010fold increase in implant failure (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.005). Six of 8 surgically managed horses with an open fracture did not survive to discharge. Outcome was also adversely affected by age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009 .005) and surgical duration &gt;168\u2009minutes (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.027).
