Ok. Well, I was looking at not only the angle at the heel, but also it appears to have a little flare back there and from my experience a flare normally is excess length on the bottom.
Hey,friends. How each of you could manage this case? In your opinion,what's the origin of the problem and what's the solution.
Tejun,here you have a horse with the feet sick. Any vet had a look? Any another consideration besides of to fix a full perimeter shoe? Do we resolve the problem the next shoeing or the theird shoeing?
He is beyond repair. the pedal bone is angled downwards and will have some re absorption on the dorsal and distal surface. the laminal junction has broken down, both North South and East West, this has allowed infection and long term necrosis of the underlying structures. The sole will be microns thick and no chance of getting that to grow. The suspensory is under tenssion.
Some thing to stop the remains of the pedal bone being compressed against the ground. The cracks are untreatable in my experience with shoeing. Maybe cutting them out and filling may a solution. But interupted laminal junction, necrotic tissue causing the white line to allow pathogens into the sensitive areas and almost certainly granulation that will prevent normal growth of these structures means it isnt a fixable project.
RED LINE=Pastern entering foot SECOND RED LINE ON HOOF WALL= upper 3rd of hoof wall angle doesn't match the pastern BLUE LINE= where i think the dorsal surface of the coffin bone is??????? (not sure guessing) WHITE LINE= Center line from where I think the deep flexor tendon attaches to the coffin bone (based on if coffin bone moved?) GREEN LINE= where I may position the future shoe what do you think?
No..the coffin bone is more vertical..like a club foot. These cases of toe crack not are than simple. His study is not finished yet. I believe I will post this question in Booted of barefoot pages...I will get more answers than here
Interesting post... if only we all had x-ray specs! I think your blue line is way out and your white line is slightly too far back. I'd guess the dorsal surface of the P3 to be somewhere around here, but what do I know?
