It would be on the list of possibilities, I think.

Hence no direct pain in the SI region when lifting a leg?

I’m so sorry about your boy. Thanks for sharing his story here, as I’m sure it will help more of us to recognise that there may be unrecognised instability issues, as well as those we know about through previous diagnoses.

Have a horse with severe ataxia after a stroke. His hooves have been perfect all his life and he has never been laminitic(25 Yo). Now , one year after his stroke his hooves show these ridges,very symmetrical in both hinds, exactly like the picture of the horse with the broken pelvis. So have to concur with this theory.
Kind regards
