ABSTRACT
Vali R, Zakipour S., Radiographic measurements of hind distal
phalanx of Dareh-shori Horses, Onl
J Vet Res., 19(7): 460-464, 2015. Hind feet of 9 horses
were radiographed with the limb in vertical position. Radiographs were made
using a portable X- ray unit with 5MAS, 80 kVP
exposure factors. Latero medial
radiographs of angles between dorsal hoof wall and ground, dorsal cortex of
distal phalanx and ground, curvatures of the proximal and distal
interphalangeal joints and the ground, vertical distance between dorsal wall and
extensor process of the distal phalanx were measured. Soft tissue
measurements were measured but not shown in this abstract. Founder
distance was = 5.99±2.65mm; hoof wall thickness 16.75±2.12mm, angle of hoof
axis = 53.99±5.22; This reference data could be of use
for evaluation of hoof conditions such as laminitis.
