Idiopathic infective arthritis of the coxofemoral joint in a mature horse

PD Clegg

Department of Large Animal Medicine and Surgery, Royal Veterinary College, Hatfield, Hertfordshire.

A mature thoroughbred-cross gelding developed chronic severe hindlimb lameness. Despite intensive clinical investigation, the diagnosis of infective arthritis of the coxofemoral joint was difficult, and a definitive diagnosis was reached only after synoviocentesis of the joint. The horse was euthanased and examined thoroughly post mortem but no definitive aetiology for the condition was discovered.
