Correlazione tra conformazione del piede ed effusione dell’articolazione interfalangea distale agli arti anteriori in giovani cavalli all’inizio della preparazione atletica

"\"\\\"Aim of this study was to find foot conformation mostly associated with. radiographic evidence of distal interphalangeal joint effusion in young horses at the beginning. of their sport career. Latero-medial radiographic parameters related to foot conformation were. measured and statistically compared between 25 horses with and 25 horses without distal. interphalangeal joint effusion. A strong positive correlation with long toe-low heels. conformation was found, indicating bigger workload at the distal interphalangeal joint, which. could be reduced by correct trimming of the hoof.\\\"\""
