’Post-mortem.—­The os coronae was found to have slipped out of the articulating cavity of the os pedis, backwards and past the lateral ligaments.  These last-named structures prevented the bone being forced forward into its proper position, being firmly locked over the lateral prominences.  The capsular ligament was considerably lacerated and inflamed, causing slight effusion and swelling about the region of the coronet.’[A]

Treatment.—­After the forcible means of reduction related by Mr. Flintoff, we may add that when they are successful, they should be followed by suitable bandaging of the parts, and rest.  The first is effected by applying plaster of Paris and linen, and the second by having the animal put in slings.
