QUESTION
Consider the following statements:
(a) In buttress foot, an enlargement at the coronary band at the centre of the hoof is seen.
(b) New bone growth due to healing of fracture or periostitis of the extensor process occurs in buttress foot.
OPTIONS
(A) Neither of the statements are correct
(B) The first statements are correct not the second
(C) Both the statements are correct but the second is not the correct explanation of the first
(D) Both the statements are correct and second is the correct explanation of the first
ANSWER
(D) Both the statements are correct and second is the correct explanation of the first
EXPLANATION
Buttress foot involves a dorsal swelling at the coronary band caused by bony proliferation around the extensor process of the distal phalanx, often following fracture or periostitis. Thus both statements describe the lesion and the second explains the first; the other choices reject one or both accurate statements or deny their causal relationship.
