This unique webinar is the first in a series of joint specific lectures. Pathology of the medial femorotibial joint is one of the more frequently encountered causes of hindlimb lameness for any equine athlete. This course is designed to empower the sports medicine veterinarian with practical information and state-of-the-art capabilities to localize, diagnose, treat and understand long term management when dealing with pathology of the medial femorotibial joint.

At Noltrex^®Vet, educating horse owners on the benefits of different joint treatment options is a top priority. Our new 1-hour webinar is a complete review of intra-articular injections and provides an excellent foundation to understanding and managing injectable joint therapies. 

The Standardbred webinar is really for all Sports Medicine Veterinarians as it builds on the first two successful webinars (Western Performance Horse, English Sport Horse), expanding on three aspects:

• A more in depth review of regenerative therapies with our new guest presenter, Lauren Schnabel, DVM, PhD, DACVS, DACVSMR
• Presentation of new polyacrylamide research, further reinforcing both the safety and the method of action of Noltrex^®Vet.

Gustavo Zanotto, DVM, MSc, PhD of Texas A&M University begins our session by presenting a review of commonly used joint therapies and their respective evidence levels. We then share clinical case presentations by veterinary leaders focused on lameness in the English sport horse and discuss how available literature can aid data-driven therapy choices – and where it falls short.  Our industry experts will discuss everything from biologics, to hyaluronic acid, corticosteroids and beyond.  This program has been approved by AAVSB RACE for 4 credits.
