The author of this book covers the field of equine orthopaedics, dealing with those conditions which a veterinarian might expect to meet in equine practice. Individual conditions are covered systematically through the relevant anatomy, aetiopathogenesis, clinical aspects, diagnosis, radiography, treatment and prognosis. Advice is pragmatic and the approach is both comprehensive and up to date, offering a methodical guide to diagnosing lameness and its causes in horses. While the book is aimed at veterinary students and practitioners, for whom it provides a sound basis for specialization in the field, much of the content will also interest the racing industry and the riding public
