About this book
The anatomical discussion describes an imperfect hinge-joint that permits extension and flexion, allows the first phalanx to pivot on the second, and admits slight sideways movement. The description of the complementary cartilage identifies its posterior surface as a gliding surface for the passage of the perforans. The illustrations show the navicular bone viewed from below and from above.
The discussion of coronitis assumes a wound in every case, sometimes too small to detect, with consequent danger of septic infection in surrounding parts. The treatment account makes rendering the parts aseptic the first indication after attention to shoeing and removal of the cause. The description of the portion covering the navicular bone's hyaline cartilage notes a change from a pearl-blue shimmer to dirty yellow.
