A window was created in the abaxial hoof wall that was lateral to and of sufficient size to extract the navicular bone. Following removal of the navicular bone, the DIPJ was debrided and resected and an orthopedic block was applied to the contralateral claw to minimize weight bearing on the infected digit. Two bulls also had a fiberglass cast applied to the affected limb to help immobilize the DIPJ. All 3 bulls recovered without complications, and 2 bulls were no longer lame, whereas the remaining bull was only mildly lame, at 4 to 5 weeks after surgery.<\/jats:p>\nCLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> The modified abaxial approach described for surgical resection of the DIPJ allowed extraction of the infected navicular bone without damage to the digital flexor tendons, something that cannot be achieved with other abaxial approaches. This approach is best used for patients without septic tenosynovitis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.252.7.873","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,19]],"date-time":"2018-03-19T17:35:30Z","timestamp":1521480930000},"page":"873-881","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Modified
