SPLENT. Definition of Splent. — An exostosis — i. E. , a callous or osseous tumor — growing upon one, or contiguous to one, of the splent bones. — Per civ all. A splent seldom occasions lameness, except in the primary stage of inflammation of the fibro-cartilaginous substance which unites the splent to the canon bone ; or, in cases when the splent is high up, in close proximity with the carpal bone — (which rests on the upper part of the inner small metacarpal) — splent sometimes involving more... than one of the carpal bones ; and from the size of the tumor, it being large, having a very rough 264 THE MODERN HORSE DOCTOR. surface. In such cases we may expect lameness; but if seldom lasts long, for the bones soon become anchylosed — glued to- gether ; and should the tumor be rough, so as to produce lame- ness, there will soon be thrown out on its contiguous tissues a fibrous layer, which to some extent prevents friction. This form of splent, having eminences, depressions, and a rough, irregular aspect, may be denominated tuberculated splent : it generally interferes with the motion of neighboring parts.
