Fig. 124.—^Longitudinal Section of a Foot with Laminitis of Three Weeks' Standing. On the anterior face of the cavity, in front of the os pedis, are thickened horny laminae. Due to the sinking of the bony col- umn the os pedis has perforated the horny sole. the horny laminae. Posteriorly the cavity is bounded by the front of the os pedis, and is lined by a thin growth of horn secreted by the keratogenous membrane covering the bone. Superiorly the cavity is quite narrow, and extends to near the lower surface of the coronary cushion, while inferiorly, at its open portion, it is often J inch to 1 inch wide. Laterally it extends on each side of the toe to the commencement of the quarters. Exploration with a director, or with the blade of a.
