Dr. O,
Have you ever heard of a coffin bone being inflamed? If so what would your opinion be re: the cause. My horse just underwent a nuclear scan at the Arizona Equine Hospital, and that is what it shows. They are taking x-rays to determine more info. Thanks for your reply, Shirl

The term is pedal osteitis and there is a short article with several former posts at Equine Diseases » Lameness » Diseases of the Hoof » Pedal Osteitis. After reviewing them you can post any questions you may have there.
