Résumé
To describe an arthroscopic technique for the removal of osteochondral fragments located within the condylar fossa of the third metacarpal/tarsal bone. Retrospective study. Thoroughbred yearlings (n = 11). Osteochondral fragments located within the condylar fossa of the third metacarpal/tarsal bone identified during presale radiographic examination were removed via arthroscopy, assisted with ultrasonography in select cases. Complete fragment removal was confirmed by intraoperative radiography. Fragments were successfully removed using rongeurs following dissection of soft tissue attachments using a bipolar radiofrequency probe. No postoperative complications occurred. An ipsilateral arthroscopic and instrument portal coupled with ultrasound assistance and a radiofrequency probe allowed for successful removal of fragments located within the condylar fossa of the third metacarpal/tarsal bone. The technique allowed for the removal of the unstable osteochondral fragment and associated physical debris. The described surgical technique enables the removal of osteochondral fragments located within the condylar fossa of the third metacarpal/tarsal bone with minimal disruption to the surrounding soft tissues.
