SPLENT— ITS NATURE, CAUSE AND TREATMENT.
The term Splent, or splint^ as it is sometimes called, is derived from the Italian word spinella, a splint — a name properly belonging to those small bones, at the posterior parts of the cannons, known, in the fore, as small metacarpal, and on the hiyid extremities Si^metatar- sal ; they being considered by some persons, as splinters of the main or cannon bones. The name of the bone is, therefore, erroneously transferred to the disease, the proper name o
...f which should be ex- ostosis, (a morbid enlargement or tumor of bone. ) The splent bones answer a useful jyurpose m the animal economy/ — they are designed to receive a portion of the weight of the body, and aid the cartil- ages of the knee in guarding against concussion. They are united to the cannon by a fibrous cartilage, which admits of slight motion, upwards and downwards ; in the disease called S2:)lent, the articulat- ing cartilages become ossified, (changed into bone, ) the function of the part is destroyed, and all motion, or elasticity, ceases.
