RADIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF DISTAL RADIAL PHYSEAL CLOSURE IN THOROUGHBRED HORSES

Monthly radiography was performed to study distal radial physeal closure in ten male and ten female Throughbred horses. The height, thoracic circumference and metacarpus circumference were also measured. Distal radial physeal closure time was sooner in females than males, and took 701 ± 37 and 748 ±...

Description
Summary:	Monthly radiography was performed to study distal radial physeal closure in ten male and ten female Throughbred horses.

Distal radial physeal closure time was sooner in females than males, and took 701 ± 37 and 748 ± 55 days respectively.
