Project

Research on the morphological and functional correlation between fragmentation of the distal aspect of the navicular bone en podotrochleïtis in the Belgian warmblood horse using medical imaging.

Podotrochelitis is the most frequent cause of lameness in the begian warmblood horse and distal navicular bone fragmentation is suspected to be associated with this disorder.

The aim of the present study is to determine the origin of distal navicular bone fragments and to describe there imaging features on cadavers, and to apply these findings on the living horse.
