Background
Type II distal phalanx (P3) fractures are a well‐described cause of lameness in horses. Reports on outcome following internal fixation of type II P3 fractures are lacking, and with little emphasis on complications.
Objective
To describe a technique for internal fixation of type II P3 fractures, and evaluate whether specific variables influenced post‐operative complications or a horse's...

Objectives
To evaluate short‐term outcome and long‐term racing performance of horses that underwent lag screw fixation of long condylar fractures of the McIII/MtIII.
