Application of equine autologous micrografts in arthroscopy intervention. a Endoscopic image of left intercarpal joint showing the surface of the radial bone of the carpus after curettage and removal of the large portion of damaged cartilage. b, c Right front carpus, dorsolateral palmaro-medial X-ray pre- and post-intervention which evidences the radio-carpal joint, the middle carpal joint, and the proximal extremities of the metacarpal bones. Osteophyte on the dorsomedial edge of radial bone (yellow arrow) and articular fragment close to the third carpal bone (red arrows). d Endoscopic image of right metacarpal-phalangeal joint showing a severe damage to the articular cartilage. At the bottom, at the level of the lateral condyle of third metacarpal bone, and at the top, on the lateral portion of the proximal side eminence of the phalanx. e, f Right fetlock, dorsolateral palmaro-medial X-ray pre- and post-intervention which reports the metacarpal-phalangeal joint. Articular space and signs of bone proliferation before and after treatment (red arrows)
