This study compared navicular bone histology in horses with navicular disease, with and without egg-bar shoe treatment. Results quantitatively support clinical improvements seen with this shoeing technique.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Podiatry
  • Histomorphometry

Background:

  • Navicular bone disease is a common cause of lameness in horses.
  • The egg-bar shoe is a therapeutic shoeing technique used to manage navicular disease.
  • Previous studies suggested clinical benefits of the egg-bar shoe, but histological data were limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the histomorphometric and histological features of navicular bones from horses with navicular disease.
  • To evaluate the effects of the egg-bar shoeing technique on navicular bone pathology.
  • To provide quantitative histological data supporting clinical observations.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, controlled six-month study involving twelve horses with navicular bone disease.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Histomorphometric analysis of navicular bone sections from untreated horses.
  • Comparison of treated (egg-bar shoe) and untreated navicular bone histology to normal control specimens.

    • Main Results:

    • Quantitative histological data were obtained for navicular bones from treated and untreated horses.
    • The study provided support for previous findings of clinical improvement associated with egg-bar shoeing.
    • Detailed histological changes and bone morphometry alterations in response to treatment were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The egg-bar shoeing technique demonstrates quantifiable histological effects on navicular bones in horses with navicular disease.
    • Histomorphometric analysis supports the clinical efficacy of the egg-bar shoe in managing navicular bone disease.
    • Further understanding of pathophysiological reactions can guide therapeutic strategies.
