Duration of lameness ranged from 1 to 289\u2009days (mean 90\u2009days). The degree of lameness varied from absent to grade 4\/5 (AAEP) (mean grade 3\/5). All horses underwent preoperative radiographic examination and 14\/30 underwent MRI. All horses underwent partial hoof wall resection. The surgery was performed safely in all cases. Postoperative complications included marked lameness in the early postoperative period in 3\/30 horses and exuberant granulation tissue formation in 2\/30 horses. Long\u2010term (&gt;6\u2009months) follow\u2010up information was available for 28 horses, and 26\/28 horses returned to previous levels of exercise.
