pubmed:abstractText
Arthroscopic surgery was performed on 12 horses (2-4 years of age) to create a 7 x 14 mm full-thickness cartilage defect in one radial carpal bone and in the contralateral third carpal bone. Six horses remained confined to a small paddock and six horses underwent a program of increasing exercise consisting of walking, trotting, and cantering for 13 weeks. All lesions showed evidence of healing at week 6 that progressed to more complete healing at week 13. There was no difference in the amount of repair tissue covering the defect. Histologically, the lesions healed with a combination of fibrous tissue and fibrocartilage. The repair tissue was significantly thicker in the exercised horses but there was no difference in repair quality. It was concluded that radial carpal and third carpal lesions have an equal ability to heal and that early postoperative exercise is not detrimental to the repair tissue within these carpal cartilage defects.
