Arthroscopy
. Through the use of a small, specialized camera and instruments, arthroscopy allows veterinarians to visualize and manipulate the interior of a horse's joints with exceptional precision. This technique plays a crucial role in identifying and treating joint injuries, such as osteochondritis dissecans, cartilage defects, and synovial infections. With arthroscopy, veterinarians can accurately diagnose these conditions, assess the extent of the damage, and perform therapeutic interventions, such as cartilage shaving, debridement, and removal of loose bodies. By minimizing trauma to the joint and reducing the risk of complications, arthroscopy has significantly improved the prognosis and long-term outcome for many equine athletes, ensuring their return to peak performance.
“Having access to the most cutting edge technologies and tools available, means getting the most definitive diagnosis for the horse. ”
