Radiographs were evaluated to determine fracture depth, width, and displacement. Osteophytes, C3 lysis, and fragmentation were scored. Racing performance was obtained from online databases. Univariable and multivariable analyses were used to determine associations between independent variables and outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty\u2010four (43%) horses raced postoperatively.

Among standardbreds, 77% (10\/13) with dorsal fractures and 0% (0\/2) with sagittal fractures raced postoperatively. Fracture displacement, C3 lysis, and cartilage damage affected the likelihood of racing postoperatively. Placement of 3.5\u2010mm screws vs 4.5\u2010mm screws and the placement of fewer screws were associated with improved likelihood of racing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prognosis for postoperative racing of thoroughbreds with dorsal C3 fractures was less favorable than that previously reported.
