Eighteen horses had a more severe lameness at the walk than at the trot; 22 of 29 horses had an abnormal gait with the hind limbs tracking to 1 side of the forelimbs. Twenty-four of 29 horses had palpable and visual asymmetry between the affected and unaffected tuber coxae. Twenty horses had radiography performed while sedated but standing, and fractures were reliably identified on the dorsomedial-ventrolateral 50\u00b0 oblique radiographic views. Twenty-seven (27\/29 [93%]) horses returned to athletic use. Horses sustaining partial fractures of the caudal aspect of tuber coxae returned to previous use significantly earlier (mean, 3 months), compared with horses with complete tuber coxae fractures (6.5 months).<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Horses with tuber coxae fractures returned to athletic soundness following extended periods of rest. Findings emphasized the need for obtaining a dorsomedial-ventrolateral 50\u00b0 oblique radiographic view of the tuber coxa of the ilium in horses suspected of sustaining injury to this region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.234.10.1303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,15]],"date-time":"2009-05-15T07:04:38Z","timestamp":1242371078000},"page":"1303-1307","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Fractures of the tuber coxa of the ilium in horses: 29 cases (1996\u20132007)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"234","author":[{"given":"Robin M.","family":"Dabareiner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert C.","family":"Cole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"1203","article-title":"Pelvic fractures in horses: 19 cases (1974\u20131984)","volume":"190","author":"Little","year":"1987"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Equine Vet J","first-page":"256","article-title":"A retrospective study of 100 pelvic fractures in horses","volume":"21","author":"Rutkowski","year":"1989"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Equine Pract","first-page":"21","article-title":"Pelvic lameness in the horse","volume":"4","author":"Jeffcott","year":"1982"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Proc Am Assoc Equine Pract","first-page":"179","article-title":"Clinical signs, diagnosis, management and outcome of complete and incomplete fracture to the ilium: a review of 20 cases","volume":"40","author":"Shepherd","year":"1994"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"1328","article-title":"Radiographic examination of the equine pelvis: case reports","volume":"159","author":"Heinze","year":"1971"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"88","article-title":"Scintigraphic abnormalities of the pelvic region in horses examined because of lameness or poor performance: 128 cases (1993\u20132000)","volume":"224","author":"Davenport-Goodall","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Guide for veterinary service and judging of equestrian events","first-page":"19","article-title":"Definition and classification of lameness","year":"1991"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"1646","article-title":"Musculoskeletal problems associated with lameness and poor performance among horses used for barrel racing: 118 cases (2000\u20132003)","volume":"227","author":"Dabareiner","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"Equine Vet J","first-page":"266","article-title":"A technique for pelvic radiography in the standing horse","volume":"38","author":"Barrett","year":"2006"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Proc Am Assoc Equine Pract","first-page":"613","article-title":"How to perform standing lateral oblique radiographs of the equine pelvis","volume":"52","author":"Talbot","year":"2006"}],"container-title":["Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/234\/10\/javma.234.10.1303.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/234\/10\/javma.234.10.1303.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/234\/10\/javma.234.10.1303.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,7]],"date-time":"2025-03-07T13:24:05Z","timestamp":1741353845000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/234\/10\/javma.234.10.1303.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,15]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2460\/javma.234.10.1303","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1488"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1488","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,15]]}}}
