Fig. 109.—Mesial Section of a Hoof illustrating the Conditions following upon Coronitis. a, Cavity in the horn of the wall; b, enlargement of the coronet and the horn of the wall following subcoronary suppura- tion: c, cavity in the wall following purulent inflammation of the sensitive laminae; d, hollow in the# horn of the sole consequent upon suppuration of the sensitive sole. coronary cushion, or as a result of direct injury immedi- ately over it. The close relation of the terminal portion of this tendon with the pedal articulation, and the incomplete protection from outside injuries here afforded to the joint by the horny box, sufficiently points out the gravity of the condition. (d) Penetration of the Articulation.—This also may be a result either of the inroads made by pus, or of an actual wound. When occurring from the latter, it is seen more often than not in the hind-foot, being there caused by the.
