Morphology of the Laminar Junction in Relation to the Shape of the Hoof Capsule and Distal Phalanx in Adult Horses <i>(Equus caballus)</i>

Abstract: The purpose was to investigate whether differences in equine hoof shape, which are inferred to alter foot function, are accompanied by differences in morphology of the laminar junction. Ten fore feet from adult horses were segregated into normal and low-angle groups, depending on the dorsal angle of the hoof wall. Twenty measurements of external hoof shape and four of the enclosed distal phalanx were tested for differences between groups, and for intragroup correlations. Three measurements of laminar morpholog… Show more

“…2). This morphological variation is consistent with hypotheses of regional loading variability (Douglas and Thomason, 2000;Thomason, et al, 2001) as follows. At the toe, the distal phalanx is thought to pull the laminae down and back, exerting tension on the laminar junction in radial and vertical directions.…”

“…Previous work has shown direct correlations between external shape and laminar structure (as in Fig. 4), but the distribution of clusters was difficult to interpret (Thomason et al, 2001). The clusters implied that change in each external shape variable had an effect on a specific region of the laminar junction.…”
