A prospective cohort study of digital cushion and corium thickness, Part 2: does thinning of the digital cushion and corium lead to lameness and claw horn disruption lesions?

The aim of this study was to determine whether a decrease in thickness of the sole soft tissues (SST) beneath the flexor tuberosity of the distal phalanx (i.e. the digital cushion and corium) predisposed a claw to develop claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL) or a leg to lameness.
