i think the lack of blood flow would be the most important factor at the moment. as for laminitis, i think the odds are the same of developing laminitis regardless front vs rear. hoping for the best, he needs all the luck he can get right now. and it's his right front that would bear the brunt of the extra weight...barbaro for instance developed laminitis first in his 'good' hind leg, but then in his front, which is why they put him down.
