Numerical investigation of bone adaptation to exercise and fracture in Thoroughbred racehorses

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Third metacarpal bone (MC3) fracture has a massive welfare and economic impact on horse racing, representing 45% of all fatal lower limb fractures, which in themselves represent more than 80% of reasons for death or euthanasia on the UK racecourses. Most of these fractures occur due to the accumulation of tissue fatigue as a result of repetitive loading rather than a specific traumatic event. Despite considerable...
