title: [The significance of ungulocoriitis septica (traumatic) in the toe of the bovine claw].
abstract: Due to the specific anatomy at the toe of the claw, inflammation of the corium at this site is characterised by a rapid spread to the distal phalanx. Radiography is important for the diagnosis and essential for determining the prognosis. In the early stage of the condition, therapy consists of correct wound care and relieving the affected claw from weight-bearing by applying an orthopaedic shoe to the partner claw. Resection of the claw toe is indicated if there is evidence of osteolysis. The postoperative healing period frequently lasts more than two months; there is a tendency to hypergranulation. Deformation of the claw due to irregular horn growth following surgery may occur. Compared to the treatment by amputation, the economic life of the patient is longer following resection and there are no restrictions on use.
