👉Joint diseases and tendon injuries are the most common injuries reported in horses across all levels of equine disciplines. These injuries often result in lameness, which can lead to either a temporary or permanent inability to perform at a high level in competition.
👉Orthobiologics are a particular form of biological products that have their use in the area of musculoskeletal injuries including osteoarthritis and tendon/ligament injuries. In general, orthobiologics focus on using the body’s own mechanisms.
👉 Orthobiologics can generally be classified into 2 categories: autologous and allogeneic.
- Autologous orthobiologics have been collected and processed for use on the individual itself.
- Allogeneic orthobiologics can be collected from rigorously preselected individuals of the same species and then prepared with a patented process, tested, and released, ready to use in a different individual. The current presentation focuses on the composition and mode of action of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Alpha 2 macroglobulin (A2MG) using different preparation methods.
👉Furthermore, in a second part different case reports using allogeneic orthobiologics are being discussed.
