“…According to Skedros et al (2009), the radius bone represented those longcurved bones, which were subject to torsion or some flexion, the third metacarpal bone represented long straight bones that suffer some torsion and the calcaneal bone was considered a short bone and underwent some flexion. Vulcano et al (2003) efficiently used the accessory carpal bone to measure bone mineral density. The present study was based on these motivations, and used the metacarpal III and accessory carpal bones, which were chosen as the standard for long bones and short bones, respectively, for the application and interpretation of the statistical analysis due to their dimensions having a certain proportionality, therefore being objects of interest for the comparative establishment, in the or functional aspect of the bones for the animals of this study.…”

“…Among the various techniques developed for bone evaluation, there is optical densitometry in the radiographic image, which can be used for sequential analysis of bone mass in animals undergoing field training, at a lower cost than other methodologies, having, as a preponderant factor, the precision (Vulcano et al, 2003), This is a viable way to monitor bone adaptation to exercise.…”

Seeking the improvement of equine sports medicine, the present work aimed to determine quantitative data from different bone structures. Therefore, the objective of this work was to quantify the thickness of the cortex in a comparative way to determine the bone densitometry and also the bone density of the bone trabeculae of the spongy substance of the radius, calcaneus, and metacarpal III bones of horses practicing equestrian enduro long-distance running tests. Six thoroughbred Arabian horses and long-distance competitors (120 and 160km) were evaluated for metacarpal III, calcaneus, and accessory carpal bone. Long bones have a different micro functional structure than short bones. The sites that received and dissipated energy varied in distal, proximal epiphysis, and diaphysis according to the bone. The calcaneus and accessory carpal bone had a lower transverse thickness of the compact substance and greater density of the same, this increase was related to the improvement of local resistance. The density of the spongy substance varied with different bones. Thus, it was concluded that stress directly influenced the quantity and quality of the compact and spongy substance.

“…(2009) stated that the radius represents long curved bones that are subject to torsion or flexion, whereas metacarpal III represents long straight bones that twist, while the calcaneus is a short bone subject to flexion. Other authors have used the accessory carpal bone to standardize efficiently the measurement of BMD in athlete horses because it is an easily accessible bone (Vulcano and Santos, 2003). In the present work, the radius and metacarpal III represent the long bones, while the accessory carpal and calcaneus bones represent the short ones.…”

The aim of this study was to understand the bone response against the exercise adaptations to reduce the occurrence of orthopedic injuries in endurance horses. To this end, the objective of the present work was to investigate how the bone adaptation on adult equines that were trained for 4–5 yr to endurance races responds to the long-term exercise of moderate intensity by comparing to non-athlete horses. For this purpose, 14 Arabian horses were selected and divided equally into two groups; a control group formed by animals that had never practiced physical activity nor been tamed and an exercise group formed by athlete animals. Radiographs were obtained using a digital radiography system and penetrometer. The radiographs were stored and later processed to determine cortical bone thickness using the ProgRes® Capture Pro 2.5 (Jenoptik, Germany), cortical bone density using Adobe Photoshop CS6 (version 6.0, Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA), and trabecular bone density using the Image-Pro Plus 4.1 (Media Cybernetics Inc. Silver Springs, MD). The EG presented an increase in cortical bone density and thickness compared to the control. This adaptation of the cortical bone in the exercised horses is an important factor in increasing bone resistance to exercise. These structural changes are related to a morphofunctional response by the bone tissue as a whole.
