Sad news. Similar injury to Dunkirk?

Very sad indeed...
This injury is different than Dunkirk\'s in that Terrain\'s injury involved two different areas of the leg, the sesamoids and cannon bone where I believe Dunkirk\'s was a condylar fracture of the cannon bone, an area right above the pastern.
Anytime the sesamoids are involved it\'s very bad news as that\'s area where flexion of the hoof begins and the shock-absorbing ligaments are located.
Here is a link to a pdf put out by TheHorse (a veterinary) magazine not too long ago that helps expalin the injuries
