Capped elbow, or "shoe boil," is a term applied to an enlargement often found at the point of the elbow.

Boots similar in pattern to those which are used for the prevention of shoe boil are also prescribed.

The protection of the skin of the elbow by interposing soft tissues between that and the shoe, or by bandaging the heel with bags or covering it with boots, is considered by many the best of the preventive methods, and the advantage to be obtained by resorting to it can not be overlooked when the number of horses which develop shoe boil whenever the use of the boot is intermitted is considered.

No better example of this condition can be imagined than is present in cases of "shoe boil," where there exists an extensive area of acute inflammation of the elbow.
