Default Heel Bulb Lacerations

Are heel bulb laceration the most common type of leg injury? It seems to happen alot with horses that are in pipe shelters rather than horses that are in barns.

I was doing some study and found that it can even be life threatening and is very common to have it over looked as the laceration appears to be only superficial.

Has anyone had any close calls with this one? I always watch our horses feet and when I run across one it seems whatever is on hand seems to always do the job but now find that
chlorhexidine at a 1:40 solution is the antiseptic of choice.

Just want to make sure if anyone has had any luck with a better solution.
