Abstract
A 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding sustained a fracture of the palm ar tuberosity of the intermediate carpal bone 2 weeks prior to admissi on. The dorsolateral-palmaromedial oblique and flexed lateromedial rad iographic views revealed the fracture line. The palmar fracture fragme nt from the intermediate carpal bone was removed by arthrotomy of the palmar intercarpal joint, which was approached through the carpal cana l. Twenty months after surgery, the horse was show jumping without evi dence of lameness.
