The equine carpal osteochondral fragment model

ABSTRACT: Synovial fluid was obtained weekly from nine horses throughout a 70-day study period and subjected to small RNA sequencing. Nine skeletally mature Standardbred trotters (seven mares and two geldings, 2.5-7 years old, weighing 397-528 kg) were included in this study. OA was surgically induced in the left middle carpal joint and the right middle carpal joint underwent sham surgery. Under arthroscopic guidance, an osteochondral fragment was created in the left middle carpal joint by chiselling off a fragment on the dorsodistal surface of the radial carpal bone using an 8 mm curved osteotome. The fragment was left adherent to the joint capsule proximally, and an incongruent defect bed of approximately 15 mm in width was created in the exposed subchondral bone between the fragment and radial ca
