The drill bit was placed at the level of the physis under radiographic guidance. A 4.5\u2010mm drill bit was passed several times through the lateral growth plate to remove the cartilage in a fan\u2010like pattern. Postoperative outcomes consisted of clinical assessment and farm manager\/owner satisfaction. Cosmetics and radiographic appearance of the surgical site were assessed when the horses were yearlings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The procedure was performed in 16 limbs of 11 thoroughbred foals with a median age of 113.5\u2009days (range, 90\u2010129). Median age at postoperative follow\u2010up was 422\u2009days (range, 366 to 452). The procedure stopped the progression of a metacarpophalangeal varus deformity in all the limbs treated, determined by visual clinical evaluation and farm manager's satisfaction with subjectively excellent radiographic images and cosmetic outcomes at yearling age.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Physis ablation was consistently achieved in these 11 foals with developing growth deformities of the distal metacarpus.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical significance<\/jats:title><jats:p>This drilling technique may offer a minimally invasive, safe, and simple technique to manage distal limb conformation in foals without placement of implants.
