What a fun picture of the collateral cartilages and the digital cushion, after pulling the DDFT back, revealing the Navicular bone. I obtained this picture while attending the PHCP Anatomy Clinic with Lorie Thomas Fleenor.

Here is a photo of a more normal Sagittal section to show the differences in the foot with chronic laminitis. I am specifically looking at the coffin bone Its whole in the “normal” foot and 1/3 is missing in the laminitic foot

There are no other photos of the laminitis foot in full sagittal section. The cut was made to look at the laminar connections medial and lateral.

Seriously incredible.
A slice taken medial to lateral through the horses foot.

Wall on the left.

Wall- laminae- laminar dermis-coffin bone. And a lucky view of one of the blood vessels that come from within the coffin bone to feed the laminar dermis.

Slice was taken near the coronary band. You can see where wall suddenly takes a 90 degree angle. That’s the coronary groove. The coronary band sits above it.
