Study: This Type Of Bone Lesion May Not Be A Reason To Turn A Sales Yearling Down Sponsored by:
Subchondral cystic lesions (SCLs) in the distal (lower) aspect of a yearling s cannon bone occur relatively infrequently. Nonetheless, these lesions will most likely raise eyebrows if found on a yearling s pre-sale radiographs. Research shows that bone cysts occurring in this location do not necessarily need to spur a frantic phone call to the local equine surgeon.
SCLs are fluid-filled pockets found in the region of bone directly underneath the layer of articular cartilage that lines the ends of long bones inside joints. How they form remains unclear. Trauma might be involved, or they could result from the failure of the bone and cartilage to develop properly.
