Zusammenfassung:In horses less than one year of age fractures of the third metacarpal bone (McIII) or metatarsal bone III (MtIII) are mainly attributed to trauma. Open reduction and internal fixation are the most common treatment method. A Quarter Horse filly with three months of age, which weighed 150kg presented a diaphyseal multifragmentar wedge fracture of right MtIII which was treated with transcortical pins and cast, associated with intralesional application of platelet rich plasma (PRP). After two years of surgery, the animal initiated a training program for racing, and six months later, the patient ran its first official match. The choice of therapeutic methods for treating fractures in horses should be one that provides an earlier repair and minor possibility of complications. Thus, the therapy association which was adopted was considered favorable, since allowed full reestablishment of locomotion of the patient and made possible its return to race. Key words: equine, fracture, osteosynthesis, platelet rich plasma. Em potros ate um ano de idade, as fraturas do III osso metacarpiano (McIII) ou III metatarsiano (MtIII) sao principalmente atribuidas ao trauma. A reducao aberta e a imobilizacao do foco com implantes constituem o tratamento cirurgico recomendado. Uma potra com tres meses de idade e 150kg, da raca Quarto de Milha, que apresentava umafratura diafisaria multifragmentar em cunha do MtlII direito foi submetida a osteossintese atraves datransfixacao externa e gesso, associada com a aplicacao intralesional deplasma rico em plaquetas (PRP). Apos dois anos do tratamento, o animal iniciou programa de treinamento para corrida e, apos seis meses do treinamento, correu o primeiro pareo oficial. A escolha dos metodos terapeuticos para o tratamento de fraturas em equinos deve ser baseada naquela que promova reparacao precoce e de melhor qualidade, com menores riscos de complicacoes. Sendo assim, a associacao terapeutica adotada foi considerada favoravel, ja que possibilitou o completo reestabelecimento da locomocao da paciente, podendo inclusive competir na sua modalidade esportiva.
