Figure 1: Oblique radiograph of the foot demonstrating significant ossification of a collateral cartilage. In addition, there is a suggestion of a fracture of this collateral cartilage. I believe that this is not a fracture but the area of incomplete fusion between a separate ossification center and the parent portion of the collateral cartilage.

Figure 2: Anteroposterior radiograph of the foot demonstrating significant ossification of a collateral cartilage in addition to a bone spur present along the wing of the navicular bone.

Figure 3: Lateral radiograph of the foot demonstrating minimal ventral rotation of the third phalanx away from the hoof wall, consistent with a radiographic diagnosis of laminitis.

Figure 4: Lateral radiograph of the front foot demonstrating significant ventral rotation of the third phalanx away from the hoof wall, consistent with a radiographic diagnosis of laminitis.

Figure 5: Lateral radiograph of the foot demonstrating a pseudo fracture of the wing of the third phalanx; I consider this within normal limits and probably the result of a separate ossification center.

Figure 6: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating a fracture of the wing of the third phalanx.

Figure 7: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating a fracture of the wing of the third phalanx with articular involvement.

Figure 8: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating a sagittal fracture through the center of the third phalanx.

Figure 9: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating an old fracture of the wing of the third phalanx with articular involvement.

Figure 10: Lateral radiograph of the foot demonstrating a separate ossification center or old chip fracture of the extensor process of P3, with no radiographic evidence of active degenerative changes.

Figure 11: Lateral radiograph of the foot demonstrating separate ossification center (s) or old chip fracture (s) of the extensor process of P3 with a suggestion of some degenerative changes involving the distal aspects of the second phalanx.

Figure 12: Lateral radiograph of the foot demonstrating a separate ossification center or old chip fracture of the third phalanx with a bone spur present along the extensor process of P3, indicative of degenerative joint disease in this region.

Figure 13: Lateral radiograph of the foot demonstrating a separate ossification center or old chip fracture of the extensor process of P3 with significant articular involvement of the third phalanx.

Figure 14: Lateral radiograph of the foot demonstrating separate ossification center or old fracture of the third phalanx with significant articular involvement.

Figure 15: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating an osteolytic or cyst-like lesion with a sclerotic border along the distal most aspect of the third phalanx.

Figure 16: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating a large, oval, osteolytic or cyst-like lesion in the middle portion of the third phalanx.

Figure 17: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating an osseous cyst-like lesion close to the articular surface of the third phalanx.

Figure 18: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating an osseous cyst-like lesion, communicating with the articular surface of the third phalanx.

Figure 19: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating large cones along the distal border of the navicular bone.

Figure 20: Dorsoventral radiograph of the foot demonstrating large cones along the distal border of the navicular bone.
