Meniscal damage of the horse stifle joint

Stifle lameness was diagnosed in 90 horses. Meniscal damages and clinical signs were recorded in 15 horses representing 16.5% of the total cases. A passive flexion and rotation test for the stifle joint was adopted to help in diagnosis of such damages. Necropsy was performed on the affected joints to assure the clinical findings. The medial meniscus was the one found affected in all the examined cases
