The French veterinary surgeons sometimes excise diseased lateral cartilages ^ but this operation is not one of much practical value. RING-BONE. By ring-bone we understand a bony or osseous deposit of an inflammatory â origin, formed upon the upper and lower pastern bones. This disease generally affects the hind pasterns, but may be found on theffore ones. ' There are two kinds of ring-bone, named "true" and "false'' respectively. By a false ring-bone, we mean a bony growth which is developed on one or both of the ridges situated at the back of the long pastern bone. This form of riiig-bone does not always cause lameness; but, when large, not uncommonly affects the progression of the animal. Although, according to- Mr. Fearnley, "ring-bone is an unsoundness which cannot for a moment be regarded in any mitigated light;" and, although wherever situated, it very commonly affects progression by impeding the action of the ligaments of the joints or of the tendons, it is, nevertheless, when of thej false kind, not invariably to be regarded as an In the figure A is the long pastern bone, B is the short one, and C is the pedal bone ; X shows a false Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Gresswell, Albert.
