COURSE DESCRIPTION

Over the past 20 years a plethora of new therapies have made an appearance in the field of equine orthopaedics.  For busy equine practitioners who don’t have the time to regularly dive into the current literature it can be difficult to establish which ones of these therapies are scientifically sound and have been found to be efficacious via clinical studies.  It is furthermore very difficult to find any literature where authors actually exactly describe what therapeutic regimen they use...

Over the two days of this course the following orthopaedic therapies will be discussed interactively via an evidence-based approach and the speakers will also elaborate on their personal views on these modalities and how they use them as part of their daily clinical routine:

  • The Equine Joint – At what level do therapeutics act to modify the joint environment?
  • Autologous Conditioned Serum (IRAP etc.) & Protein Solutions (ProStride etc.)
  • Alcohol-facilitated Ankylosis of low-motion Joints
  • Platelet-rich Plasma Therapies
  • Acellular Amnion
  • Autologous vs. Allogeneic Stem Cell Therapy (Arti-Cell® Forte, PulpCyte® etc.)
  • Bisphosphonates (i.e. Osphos & Tildren)
  • Adequan & Cartrophen
  • Nutraceuticals
  • New OA therapeutics like
  • Intra- and Extra-articular Corticosteroid & Hyaluronan
  • Sports Horse Surgeries – Decision Making & Outcome

The highly-illustrated lectures will be held in English (with German moderation) in the mornings. 

In the afternoons, 7 hours of practical and case-based sessions will allow attendees to further their practical and clinical decision making skills on equine specimens and VetPD simulators in small groups (2 attendees per specimen) and to further discuss the above topics with the specialists.   Each attendee will rotate through the following practical sessions: 

  • Ultrasound-guided Tendon & Ligament Injections
  • Alcohol-facilitated Ankylosis of the Distal Tarsal Joints (incl. contrast arthrography)
  • Ultrasound-guided Cervical Facet & Mid-Distal Limb Joint Injections
  • Regenerative MedicineCase-Discussions
  • Proximal Metatarsal / Tarsal Injections & Fasciotomy/Neurectomy-related Dissections
  • Sports Horse Surgery Case-Discussions

The course fee includes lunches, coffee / tea breaks, a wine & cheese reception, extensive electronic course notes and a certificate of attendance. Attendees can choose to only attend the lectures (= Lectures Only) on this course or can register for the entire course (= Lectures & Practical Sessions).  Early course registration is recommended as there are only a limited number of places available due to the highly practical nature of this course. 

This course is suitable for RCVS Modules:     B-EP.3;  C-E.4;  C-E.5;  C-E.6;  C-E.7;  C-E.15; C-E.17

Jonathan Anderson is a director and surgeon at the Rainbow Equine Hospital. He is a Royal Veterinary College Equine Surgical Specialist, a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and an FEI Veterinary Delegate.

Jonathan graduated from the Edinburgh’s Royal School of Veterinary Studies in 2000, completed an internship year at the San Luis Rey Equine Hospital in California, before moving to the Rainbow Equine Hospital in the UK for 3 years. He went back Stateside to undergo a large animal clinical fellowship at Oregon State Veterinary Teaching Hospital followed by an Equine Surgical Residency at the University of California, Davis. He achieved diplomate status in 2009, remained as a clinical instructor at UC Davis for a year before moving back to the Rainbow Equine Hospital at the end of 2009 to join the surgical team. He has been involved in advancing the use of CT both as diagnostic and intra-operative imaging modality within the equine veterinary field. His main veterinary interests include all things orthopaedic which includes the evaluation, advanced imaging and surgical treatment of horses with cervical stenosis. He is keen to see a sharing of knowledge and equipping of equine vets to recognise and treat horses with this condition.

His biggest asset is his long suffering wife Naomi and he kind of helps to manage a brood of 5 kids which means little time for any other activities although a run in the mountains every so often is where he likes to recharge his batteries once again!
