Abstract

In horses with chronic laminitis, an abnormal horn structure called the lamellar wedge develops within the lamellar region of the foot. This pathologic structure adversely affects normal foot function, and influences return to previous performance levels. Understanding the pathologic process that leads to the development of this structure is essential for correct supportive foot management of the horse with chronic laminitis. The ability to prevent or reduce the formation of the lamellar wedge may eventually lead to better outcomes in cases of laminitis.

摘要

在患有慢性蹄叶炎的马匹中，蹄部蹄叶区域会形成一种名为蹄叶楔的异常角质结构。这种病理结构会对正常蹄部功能产生不利影响，并影响马匹恢复到先前的运动水平。了解导致这种结构形成的病理过程，对于正确支持性管理患有慢性蹄叶炎的马匹至关重要。预防或减少蹄叶楔形成的能力，最终可能会在蹄叶炎病例中带来更好的治疗效果。
