Example Sentences:
(1) It is expected that biomechanical investigations will provide a better understanding of the mechanical factors involved in the pathogenesis of spavin.
(2) The pathogenesis of spavin can be divided into three phases, which are characterised by fibrillation of cartilage, osteolysis and ankylosis respectively.
(3) The pathogenesis of bone spavin and its implications for diagnosis and therapy are reviewed.
(4) However, primary osteoarthrosis of the hock joint similar to spavin in the horse was found.
(5) Our findings supported the conclusion that osteochondrosis may cause spavin in the juvenile equid.
(6) Over a period of seven years, 30 horses were treated by surgical arthrodesis for lameness resulting from osteoarthrosis of the proximal intertarsal, distal intertarsal and tarsometatarsal joints (bone and occult spavin).
(7) Bone spavin, splint, and fractured splint bone injuries have been treated with varying methodologies at Wheatley Hall Farm Equine Clinic.
