    En caballos de carreras jóvenes se produce el modelado y la remodelación por estrés de la cortical dorsal del tercer metatarsiano pero, a diferencia del tercer hueso metacarpiano, rara vez se asocian con signos clínicos de cojera. Las fracturas corticales dorsales del tercer hueso metatarsiano son raras, pero pueden darse en caballos de carreras Pura Sangre Inglés o Standardbred.
