Ultrasonography of the fractured equine pelvis

Pelvic trauma in horses is not uncommon and can result from a monotonic failure of the bone or be stress induced. Fractures of the pelvis in non-racehorses are mostly traumatic in origin and are the result of either a fall or potentially a kick injury. The type of fracture will depend upon the energy and […]
