The splint bones are held to metacarpal III by strong ligaments which are usually ossified and can lead to lameness if there is excessive bone production. They bones curve away distally from the main shaft and end in rounded nodules, which are important palpable landmarks ('''buttons of the splint'''), approximately a 1/3 to 3/4 of the way down metacarpal III.
