Topic:Intra-Articular Injection

Intra-articular injection in horses involves the administration of therapeutic agents directly into a joint space. This technique is used to manage joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis, by delivering medications like corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or biologic therapies directly to the affected area. The procedure aims to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve joint function. Intra-articular injections are commonly performed under sterile conditions to minimize the risk of infection. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the methods, efficacy, and safety of intra-articular injections in equine medicine, as well as their impact on joint health and performance in horses.

Degenerative joint disease is one of the main causes of equine early retirement from pleasure riding or a performance career. The disease is initially triggered by an abnormal loading of normal cartilage or a normal loading of abnormal cartilage. This primary insult is accompanied with joint inflammation, which leads to further progressive degeneration of the articular cartilage and changes in the surrounding tissues. Therefore, in search for an effective treatment, 75 adult horses with early signs of degenerative fetlock joint disease were enrolled in a randomized, multicenter, double-blinded...
