Document Summary
Fast exercise: improves the bending strength of bone, causes the collagen threads to become thicker like ropes. We don"t know exactly how many stride cycles are necessary to improve bone strength. You only need to build the bone to the level at which it is going to be used. Rehabilitation for bone is similar to rehabilitation for muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries it just takes longer. Bucked shins: convex curve of the front of the cannon bone, most common in young racehorses, occurs most often on the hind legs. When racetracks were converted to synthetic materials, fractures decreased and soft tissue injuries increased. Bone is very dynamic: osteoclasts eat away the mineral part of the bone and create a ruffled border, osteoprogenitor cells lie between the periosteum and the bone. They form osteoblasts which turn into osteocytes after secreting matrix.
