Summary
Penetrating injuries to the foot are potentially serious injuries
in the horse. Diagnosis is usually straightforward and a
combination of radiography (including positive contrast
studies) and synoviocentesis usually is necessary to determine
which structures within the foot are involved. Superficial
punctures usually carry a good prognosis but involvement of
deep structures such as the distal phalanx or deep digital
flexor tendon and navicular bursa adversely influence this.
Knowledge of wound healing in the foot and a rational
approach to antimicrobial selection and surgical intervention
are all necessary for successful case management.
