Re: RC: club rotation vs. laminitis rotation

[DESERTRYDR1@aol.com]

Difference between a club foot and laminitis, according to another list, is 
that coffin bone is parallel to the toe hoof wall in a clubfoot, as it is 
still attached to the laminae.  In a laminitis the coffin bone will be torn 
from the laminae, and will not be parallel to the front wall of the hoof.  So 
if there is actually rotation, it's laminitis.  A foot can look clubby, with 
dishing and upright heel due to laminitis, but it isn't a true club foot in 
that case.  jeri
