If the ex- ostosis constituting a spavin or a ringbone, for instance, becomes sufficiently extensive to obliterate the joint about which it has grown, thereby preventing all movement, the pain of motion in that part and the coincident lameness will be removed. This process is called anchylosis, and accounts for the fact that a great big so-called jack spavin may cause no lameness, while the most acute pain and lameness will attend an occult spavin when there is, as yet, scarcely any enlarge- ment. The joints in- volved in both spavin and ringbone are not t' \ ^» ^^^ essential joints of those parts, and they can, therefore, be dispensed with and cause no serious interference with function. Exostosis is usually a sequel of or accompanies an inflammation of the joint surface, called arthritis, as in £ 1-^^^^^^ spavin, although it may be independ- ent of the joint, as in sidebone, and, usually, in splint.
