Vet Radiol Ultrasound. 2005 Jan-Feb;46(1):69-71. doi: 10.1111/j.1740-8261.2005.00014.x.

Abstract

We describe the clinical findings and radiographic abnormalities of a horse with a bipartite distal phalanx and a bipartite navicular bone of the right forelimb. Associated findings including suspected keratoma and degenerative joint disease of the distal interphalangeal joint are described and possible etiologies are discussed.
