Arthramid® and the NZVA offered an exclusive opportunity to hear from the esteemed Dr Lisa Fortier who, alongside Dr Jason Lowe, discussed Intra-Articular Approaches to Osteoarthritis, a general topic that appeals to any veterinarian treating joint inflammation, lameness and osteoarthritis in their patients (equine and companion animal alike).
Lisa gave an informative, science-based talk, introducing some of the exciting new research and gave updates about treatment options available for osteoarthritis in animals as we continue to learn more about this disease. Lisa covers the pro’s and con’s of all popular biological treatments, including PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), IRAP (Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein), Pro-Stride, Stem cells, A2M and Polyacrylamide Hydrogels (Noltrex & Arthramid).
