Mechanics is a branch of science that deals with energy and forces
and their effect on bodies or the functional parts of an activity.
Considering the complexity of the equine foot it is only prudent
that we learn all we possibly can about the forces at play and their
influence on all components. The live horse is by far our greatest

TBA SURGICAL APPROACHES AND SHOEING
CONSIDERATIONS
MR CHRIS PENOLA & DR. GREG STALLER
Septic osteitis of the distal phalanx and keratomas are fairly
commonly diagnosed problems in equine practice. Surgical
debridement of infection and removal of keratomas is key to
successful treatment, but approaches to the affected areas leave
defects in the hoof wall that require careful stabilization.
In this laboratory, surgical approaches to areas of the distal
phalanx, across the hoof wall will be demonstrated. Horseshoe-
ing techniques crucial to stabilization of the invaded hoof wall will
be demonstrated and explained. Veterinarians and farriers will
then work together on cadaver limbs to collaborate in surgical
management and shoeing. Instrumentation and materials
required for successful management will be introduced and
demonstrated.

Soft tissue injury in the pastern region is a common cause of
lamenesses that improve with a palmar digital and/or abaxial

a very efficient, non invasive way to rule out soft tissue injury in
this area and can be done in the field with a portable ultrasound.
