    Individual bones may be palpated if injury is suspected, such as a fracture, bucked shins in racehorses (cannon bones), or splints (splint bones). [10] Specialized manipulative tests can be used to help identify specific areas of pain: The Churchill test: pressure is applied to the plantar surface of the head of the medial splint bone.

    Splints are new bone formation (exostoses) along the involved splint bone. [48] In the young horse the interosseous ligament which attaches the splint bones to the cannon can become damaged or torn from the concussive and rotational forces of exercise. This will cause heat, pain and swelling in the area between the splint and the cannon.

[1] Osselets usually occur in the front legs of the horse, because there is more strain and concussion on the fetlock there than in the hind legs. The arthritis will occur at the joint between the cannon bone and large pastern bone, at the front of the fetlock.

  8. Navicular syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navicular_syndrome

    Heel pain is very common in horses with navicular syndrome. Lameness may begin as mild and intermittent, and progress to severe. This may be due to strain and inflammation of the ligaments supporting the navicular bone, reduced blood flow and increased pressure within the hoof, damage to the navicular bursa or DDF tendon, or from cartilage erosion.
