  • Title: Other Clinical Problems of the Equine Foot.
    Author: Fürst AE, Lischer CJ.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract; 2021 Dec; 37(3):695-721. PubMed ID: 34782100.
    Abstract:
    Many disorders affect the equine foot, and many hoof problems have multiple predisposing causes. Surgery may be necessary after conservative management has failed. Diseases of the hoof capsule may seem simple, but their effect on performance can be long-lasting and healing is often prolonged. Diagnosis of problems within the hoof capsule is enhanced with the use of computed tomography and MRI. The prognosis of fractures has improved with strategic placement of lag screws across fracture planes using aiming devices and advanced intraoperative imaging techniques. Collaboration between the clinician and a skilled farrier is important for successful management of hoof disorders.
