Abstract
The clinical signs, the radiographic appearance, and the treatment of two cases of fracture of the accessory carpal bone are described. The fractures were in the vertical plane. Surgical intervention consisted out of fixation of the fracture with two lag screws. Follow-up informa tion revealed that one horse became sound and returned to complete ath letic activity whereas the other horse remained lame. A brief literatu re review is given and the surgical treatment and the complications ar e discussed.
