Micro fracture

[Scarem]

I have a filly that won her first out, shipped south, and shinbucked (trainers diagnosis). After a month off, training started again, and was entered after about 3 months. She led to the top of the stretch, then faded to finish well up the track. Kris S. breeding, out of a Black Mackee bottom side. Entered another month later with same result. Vet says micro fracture near the bottom of the cannon, front. I have her home in a small paddock, on a balanced mineral supplement. Anything else I should do to help with healing?
I also would appreciate anyone's experience with bringing one back with similar injury.

Osteon.... Microfractures are not much unless they develop further

We had a QH race mare with a "microfracture" at age 2. She was turned out (albeit in a VERY small paddock) and returned to racing at age 3 with no problems. Actually, she did quite well until she was in a wreck during a race.
Just time off, balanced diet and gradual return to racing fit.

I don't know if that's any help - I know a 400 meter dash and a mile race are far different.

Thank you for your replies, hopefully she will recover as your's did.

keep her walking every day helps the bone heal

Your trainer should have given her at least 45 days after she shin bucked. I would have gone 60 days.

Just make sure she is fed properly and given enough time for the bone to regenerate.

Small pen and daily (or even 2 x daily) hand-walking. Gradually work up to walking under tack.

The most dangerous time is the first stages of stimulating the bone to regain its strength without too much pressure.

Just as dangerous as too much activity too soon is no activity or too little activity during the healing process.

Get a good vet with lots of experience with this and follow instructions to the "T". Don't guess. Don't just take advice from a board.
