Follow\u2010up lasted at least 12\u2009months.

Furthermore, 22% (7\/31) and 10% (3\/31) exhibited satisfactory and unsatisfactory results, respectively. Seven horses underwent follow\u2010up arthroscopy to treat complications or residual lameness. Among horses with femoral condyle SBCs, 68% (15\/22) achieved successful outcomes, compared with 67% (6\/9) of those with fetlock SBCs.
