Descriptive epidemiology of fracture, tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in National Hunt racehorses in training
Journal Article
Ely, E. R., Avella, C. S., Price, J. S., Smith, R. K. W., Wood, J. L. N., & Verheyen, K. L. P. Descriptive epidemiology of fracture, tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in National Hunt racehorses in training. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(4), 372-378. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516409x371224

Reasons for performing study: While fractures and tendon injuries are known to be important diseases in National Hunt (NH) racehorses during racing, there are no accurate estimates of their incidence in NH training yards. Objectives: To estimate the... Read More about Descriptive epidemiology of fracture, tendon and suspensory ligament injuries in National Hunt racehorses in training.

Bone biomarkers and risk of fracture in two- and three-year-old Thoroughbreds
Journal Article
Jackson, B. F., Dyson, P. K., Lonnell, C., Verheyen, K. L. P., Pfeiffer, D. U., & Price, J. S. Bone biomarkers and risk of fracture in two- and three-year-old Thoroughbreds. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(4), 410-413. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516409x416206

The aim of this study was to determine whether bone biomarkers (osteocalcin, PICP, ICTP and CTX-I) could be used to identify 2- and 3-year-olds at increased risk of fracture in the subsequent flat racing season. It was concluded that these bone bioma... Read More about Bone biomarkers and risk of fracture in two- and three-year-old Thoroughbreds.
