Resumen

Se describe una fractura bilateral catastrófica de pelvis en una yegua pura sangre de carreras de dos años de edad. El hecho ocurrió a los 300 metros de su largada. La yegua detuvo repentinamente su carrera y presentó una cojera del miembro posterior izquierdo aguda y sin apoyo. El examen ultrasonográfico mostró una fractura bilateral desplazada en el ala y el cuerpo del ilion, que se extendía hasta el sacro. Se identificó el contorno del ilion irregular y con una superficie engrosada, lo cual fue sugestivo de callo periosteal. La fractura bilateral y completa del ilion fue confirmada por necropsia y radiografía post mortem. La histopatología mostró cambios óseos compatibles con fracturas por estrés bilaterales; las fracturas completas se habían originado a partir de una lesión por microdaño preexistente.
