Abstract
Foot compartment syndrome is diagnosed with intracompartmental pressure measurements. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of two techniques to accurately place a needle tip within the medial foot compartment and to compare the proximity of the needle tip to the medial foot compart...

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a model for a routine genetic evaluation of claw health traits and to develop an index including data on claw health and conformation traits. Claw health data comprised observations on 40,536 dairy cows of claw traits recorded by claw trimmers. Claw health tr...

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL; sole ulcers and white line disease) and body condition score (BCS) at dry-off on survivability, milk production, and reproductive performance during the subsequent lactation. An observational prospective c...

Abstract
The objective was to evaluate the relative efficacy of a novel, commercially available disinfectant agent (T-Hexx Dragonhyde HBC, Hydromer, Branchburg, NJ) compared with formalin and copper sulfate. The hypothesis was 2 sided; therefore, the hypothesis was that the new agent would be better or worse...

Abstract
We prospectively assessed all data from RA patients who underwent in-patient treatment for septic complications in the 3-year period from 01.01.2006 to 31.12.2009. All disease- and infection-specific data were gathered and analysed.
Of the 36 cases in total, infection was localized in the rheumatoid...

Abstract
We measured concentrations of neutrophil elastase, a serine protease released from the azurophilic granules of neutrophils, in plasma, skin and laminar tissues obtained from control horses and horses given black walnut heartwood extract (BWHE) to induce laminitis. Healthy horses (5-15 years old) wer...

Abstract
Clinically speaking, 68 intermetatarsal spaces (44 of 58 patients [76%], 47 feet) were asymptomatic at follow-up and 22 (14 of 58 patients [24%], 19 feet) were symptomatic. A presumed Morton neuroma was found in 18 (26%) of the asymptomatic spaces and 11 (50%) of the symptomatic spaces. A presumed s...

Abstract
Assessment of foot pathology during walking should form an integral part of the clinical evaluation of children. Simple observation and video recording have limitations and are not quantifiable. Three-dimensional analysis of foot motion during walking can provide invaluable information on the dynami...

Abstract
Diseases to the cow's hoof, interdigital skin and legs are highly prevalent and of large economic impact in modern dairy farming. In order to support farmer's decisions on preventing and treating lameness and its underlying causes, decision support models can be used to predict the economic profitab...

This retrospective study investigated the factors associated with a poor outcome (death by euthanasia or from other causes) in horses treated for laminitis at a tertiary care hospital. Cases (n = 247) were defined as patients with laminitis that were euthanized or that died of other causes during ho...

To the authors' knowledge, no case of bilateral Baxter's neuropathy secondarily to plantar fasciitis has been reported. Baxter's neuropathy and causative disorders are easily recognized with help of typical MRI findings. Selective fatty atrophy of the abductor digiti minimi muscle is the unique sign...

Abstract
Forefoot chronic pain is a frequent problem in daily clinical practice. Mechanical pathology of the forefoot, usually called static metatarsalgia, represents the most frequent reason for consultation in pathology of the foot. The cause is a functionnal disorder or anatomic derangement of the forefoo...

Abstract
The hindfoot is the part of the foot which is proximal to the midtarsal joint. The obvious causes of pain are not considered (post-traumatic etiologies, sprains and fractures but also cutaneous lesions). The main etiologies on the subject are successively exposed by following the localization of the...

We must recommend wearing other shoes and sometimes an orthoplasty which is not covered by health insurance. Sole orthesis are quite effective for most pathologies causing pain when walking, and involving the foot sole or starting in the foot. Realised by an approved splint technician, they are cove...

Abstract
Six tarsal coalitions in children were managed surgically using a deepithelialized skin flap for interposition after resection of the bony, fibrous or cartilaginous coalition. The advantage of this technique is that due to positioning the skin flap, joint motion can be preserved. The clinical result...

Abstract
Plasma PGF(2 alpha) concentrations increased in horses given BWHE; the WBC count decreased concurrently. In control horses, PGF(2 alpha) was a potent contractile agonist for laminar veins but not for laminar arteries. In horses given BWHE, PGF(2 alpha) was similarly selective for laminar veins; howe...

The term 'thin soles' refers to the suboptimal thickness of the weight-bearing surface of claws in ruminants. These palmar/plantar surfaces of the claws support the weight of the animal and consist of the distal wall horn, the sole proper, the heel and the minute white line area. The sole should nor...
