  • Title: Hoof wall surgery in the horse: approaches to and underlying disorders.
    Author: Honnas CM, Dabareiner RM, McCauley BH.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2003 Aug; 19(2):479-99. PubMed ID: 14575170.
    Abstract:
    Because of the hoof capsule, surgery of the equine foot is often perceived to be quite difficult. Knowledge of the specific disease entities that require surgical intervention as well as an in-depth understanding of the anatomy of the tissues beneath the hoof capsule is a definite prerequisite to successful surgical treatment. This article details the surgical approaches used to treat septic navicular bursitis, septic pedal osteitis, infection of the collateral cartilages, and keratomas. The principles used to treat these conditions can be applied to a variety of other conditions for which access through the hoof wall is required.
