However, in some foals, the application of toe extensions will make the flexural deformities in the metacarpophalangeal joints worse. In such cases, the deformities of the metacarpophalangeal joints should be corrected, with splints, and the distal interphalangeal joints corrected at a later date. | However, in some foals, the application of toe extensions will make the flexural deformities in the metacarpophalangeal joints worse.
