Elite Veteran Posts: 928 Location: Northern CA	Currently have a two year old with a severe bone cyst in his stifle, with associated cartilage damage. Very reputable lameness/performance vet has recommneded putting him down, he has done multiple procedures and therapies on these types of cases with little to no results. He did say that with a year turned out he may make a trail/ranch horse, but not being broke, it is not very likely. I hope for you that a hock has a different prognosis.

Expert Posts: 1599	Location is HUGE on a cyst- stifles are the worst because they usually are in a high-friction area and it will cause a lot of pain. That being said, we used to do a lot of surgeries on horses with stifle cysts; vet would dig the cyst out with a scope and inject stem cells. Some were successful, others weren't. A well known breeder gave my boss (vet) a nice yearling stud colt cuz he had a cyst in his stifle. Boss did the surgery and he was sound up until heavy training his 4 year old year. Hocks usually have a better prognosis if they are in the lower joint because there is little movement. If it's upper joint then you are probablyin the same prognosis as a stifle:/
