Table 1. Clinical orthopaedic findings in cattle included in the study.

The clinical cases were randomly allocated to either the ketoprofen (group K) or placebo group (group P) and further categorized into foot (located up to and including the fetlock) vs. (proximal to the fetlock). The categories were included as independent variables of logistic regression model for ketoprofen treatment. The limb pathologies were arranged from distal to proximal location.

Foot location Location proximal to the fetlock
Pathological findings Vertical horn wall fissure (n = 1), horn bruise (n = 1), WLD (n = 3), SU (n = 1), laceration of the interdigital space (n = 1), fracture of P3 (n = 1), osteitis of P3 (n = 9), aseptic arthritis of DIJ (n = 1), septic arthritis of DIJ (n = 2), septic arthritis of the PIJ (n = 3), osteoarthritis of the PIJ (n = 1), traumatic periarthritis of the fetlock joint (n = 1), septic arthritis of the fetlock joint (n = 3), arthrosis of the fetlock joint (n = 1), tendovaginitis of CDFTS (n = 2). Epiphysitis of the distal metacarpus (n = 1), laceraton of the metatarsus with bone sequestration (n = 1), middle to high degree bone spavin (n = 1), septic arthritis of the tarsucrural joint (n = 2), epiphysitis of the distal radius (n = 1), physitis of the distal radius and ulna (n = 1), septic arthritis of the elbow joint (n = 1), septic arthritis and physitis of the distal femur (n = 1), fracture of the ileum (n = 1).
