Abstract
To report use of a magnetic retriever for arthroscopic removal of a metallic foreign body from the equine talocrural joint. Clinical report. A 2-year-old Warmblood stallion. A metallic foreign body was removed from a talocrural joint using a 10-mm magnetic retriever under arthroscopic guidance. Preoperative radiographs were used to locate the intra-articular position of the foreign body. Six months after surgery, the horse was no longer lame. A magnetic retriever can be used for arthroscopic removal of metallic foreign bodies from the equine talocrural joint. A magnetic retriever may be useful for arthroscopic retrieval of metallic foreign bodies from synovial cavities in horses, especially when direct observation is impeded by inflamed synovial villi and fibrin.
