In a survey of 95 control horses and 16 horses with navicular disease, the incidence of erosions and discoloration of the flexor cartilage of the navicular bone was no different between the control horses and those with navicular disease. All cases of navicular disease showed thrombosis of the distal navicular nutrient arteries and this could be related to a change to a rounded or flask shape of the distal nutrient foramen of the navicular bone. Erosions and discoloration of the navicular bone are therefore of no significance in navicular disease. Previously described lines of treatment are of little value in the treatment of navicular disease. Preliminary experience with the use of anticoagulant therapy may indicate another alternative form of treatment, but the long term results have yet to be assessed.
在一项对95匹对照马和16匹患有舟状骨病的马的调查中，舟状骨屈肌软骨的糜烂和变色发生率在对照马和患有舟状骨病的马之间没有差异。所有舟状骨病病例均显示舟状骨远端营养动脉血栓形成，这可能与舟状骨远端营养孔变为圆形或烧瓶形有关。因此，舟状骨的糜烂和变色在舟状骨病中无重要意义。先前描述的治疗方法在舟状骨病的治疗中价值不大。使用抗凝治疗的初步经验可能表明这是另一种替代治疗形式，但长期结果尚未评估。
