This multicentre retrospective study describes the ranges of abnormalities identified on standing MRI of the MCP\/MTP region and compares patterns of abnormalities between forelimbs, hindlimbs and different sports disciplines. In total, 341 MRI reports were reviewed. Subchondral bone plate irregularities, condylar and proximal phalanx pathologies were frequently identified with subchondral bone defect, sclerosis and increased intensity on STIR images often described. Medial pathology was frequently identified in the forelimbs, and more lateral pathology was reported in the hindlimbs, which could potentially reflect differences in the loading patterns. Significant differences in MRI findings were found between different sports activities, with MCP\/MTP bone pathology occurring more frequently in MRI reports from race and endurance horses and MCP\/MTP soft tissue injuries being reported more frequently in dressage and show-jumping horses, particularly in the suspensory apparatus, including the distal sesamoidean ligaments. The findings of this study identify patterns of MCP\/MTP abnormalities detected using standing MRI, with differences seen between forelimbs and hindlimbs and between different sports disciplines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani14131866","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]],"date-time":"2024-06-25T10:10:07Z","timestamp":1719310207000},"page":"1866","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Lesion Distribution in the Metacarpophalangeal and Metatarsophalangeal Region of 341 Horses Using Standing Magnetic Resonance Imaging"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-0020-7927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Schiavo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rossdales Veterinary Surgeons, Cotton End Rd, Exning, Newmarket CB8 7NN, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3126-2738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesca","family":"Beccati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Horse Research Centre, Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Perugia, 06123 Perugia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachel","family":"Pokora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rossdales Veterinary Surgeons, Cotton End Rd, Exning, Newmarket CB8 7NN, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-6048-1092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Szu Ting","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, Madingley Rd, Cambridge CB3 0ES, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca C.","family":"Milmine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dubai Equine Hospital, Dubai P.O.
