Study: Though Gnarly-Looking, Orbital Fractures In Horses Often Heal Well Sponsored by:
A horse with a broken orbital bone can be a sight to behold – the horse s head is often massively swollen and he may be unable to open the eye on the affected side. It can be impossible to imagine a horse with this type of injury ever being able to go back to “normal,” but a study has shown that most horses with occipital fractures have a good prognosis for both retaining their sight and returning to work.
A study from North Carolina University, led by Dr. Joseph Gerding, used 18 horses referred to the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine clinic for orbital fractures. The horses were injured by rearing in a confined area, running into a stationary object, or by being kicked. Fifteen of the horses had surgery to stabilize the bone.
