More Info
Pedal osteitis is a common radiographic diagnosis of lameness in horses feet but should be considered more of a description than a diagnosis. The term "pedal osteitis" translates to inflammation of the toe (coffin / P3) bone. Radiographically the coffin bone normally has irregular areas, most commonly along the margin and in the vascular channels. So, when you have a horse with lameness that blocks out at the foot and can find no likely cause: is that irregular coffin bone margin trying to tell you something or is it a red herring? Any inflammatory disease condition (infection, trauma, cancer, keratoma, etc.) could be labeled as a form of secondary pedal osteitis. Primary pedal osteitis is probably a result of chronic trauma. This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of non-infectious pedal osteitis.
