Underrun heels are common and involve hoof capsule distortion in which the horn tubules of the heels undergo bending and lengthening, resulting in decreased strength and functionality. The syndrome varies in clinical presentation, depending on duration, severity of distortion, presence of secondary problems, and presence of lameness. Primary treatment goals are to maintain soundness and functional integrity of the foot and to establish a normal hoof capsule. Resolution of the problem is generally not achieved in horses in a heavy work schedule, and realistic goals in this situation are to maintain function, alleviate lameness, and arrest progression of the distortion.
足跟下翻很常见，涉及蹄匣变形，即足跟的角质小管发生弯曲和延长，导致强度和功能下降。该综合征的临床表现因病程、变形严重程度、是否存在继发问题以及是否跛行而异。主要治疗目标是维持蹄的健康和功能完整性，并建立正常的蹄匣。对于工作强度大的马匹，通常无法解决该问题，在这种情况下，现实的目标是维持功能、减轻跛行并阻止变形进展。
