[Video] Morphometrics of the Bones of the Lower Equine Limb and the Relationship to Radiography
A careful study of the shape of the bones of the lower equine limb is important in order to have the best possible understanding when trimming and shoeing the horse. Radiography is the most typically used and powerful tool that the equine practitioner has available to assess the conformation of any individual horse.
In this presentation, hoof researcher Monique Craig will summarize findings on the morphology of the bones and the lower-leg kinematics, and relate this information to aid in the best utilization of radiographs of the equine lower leg. She will consider the three distal phalanges of the leg, and study them both from 3D polygonal data from laser scans, and also from standard practice radiographic projections of the lower leg.
