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.
