About
Dr. Alexandra L. Curtiss is a leading equine orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advanced diagnostic imaging for the prevention and management of catastrophic musculoskeletal injuries in racehorses. Her most cited study, "Validation of standing cone beam computed tomography for diagnosing subchondral fetlock pathology in the Thoroughbred racehorse" (2020, 35 citations), established a groundbreaking, non-invasive method for identifying early subchondral bone pathology—a critical precursor to serious injury. By demonstrating the reliability of standing cone beam CT, Dr. Curtiss provided veterinarians with a practical tool for early intervention, directly impacting racehorse welfare and training decisions. Her research bridges clinical radiology and sports medicine, offering actionable insights for reducing fracture risk in high-performance athletes. With a focus on translational imaging, Dr. Curtiss continues to shape best practices in equine lameness diagnosis, making her work essential reading for students and clinicians dedicated to equine sports health and injury prevention.
