Abstract
In this study; it is aimed to discuss the results, which are obtained from the evaluation of the lower extremityand foot region bone lesions in the horses, which are used in various qualities like cargo transportation and transportation,in the light of the literature. Radiography is one of the commonly used imaging techniques for diagnosis of bonelesions in horses. The radiography is one of the most commonly used imaging methods to determin bone lesions inhorses. In this study, we used 30 horses that work as an draft horses. After clinical examination and anamnesis of horses,radiographic exposures were made. All horses were taken x-ray for distal exstremities. Radiographic images wereanalyzed separately for each horses and all lesions were classified for localization and propert. All data were evaluatedby descriptive statistics. After radiological examination, we observed that 80% percent of horses had different lesionshowever, we did not observe any lesion for 20% percent of horses. 66.7% percent of horses had osteoarthritis,70.8% percent of horses had splint 50% percent of horse had sesamoiditis, 54.1% percent of horses had periostealbone formation. The distribution of the lesions in the front and hind extremity respectively, 12.5% and 8.3%. 79.2%percent of lesion were determined both front and hind extremity in our horses. Almost all lesions that were determinedwas chronic lesions. Challenges of working and living conditions was found to be effective for lesion procedure.
