Using a case-based approach, this lecture will focus on the diagnostic process from the perspective of a Sports Medicine specialist, focusing on lameness evaluation, diagnostic analgesia and diagnostic imaging including ultrasound and radiology. Learn some helpful tips for localizing lameness with blocking, performing and interpreting imaging, and when to refer cases for advanced diagnostic imaging. 9:00AM–10:00AM 1 CEU Pecos Session 301: Evidence-based approach to joint therapies in the horse: What do we really know? — with Gustavo M. Zanotto DVM, MSc, PhD, DACVSMR This lecture will present the current level of evidence for the main therapies (intra-articular corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid, polyacrylamide hydrogel, PRP, IRAP, and Stem cells) used to treat of joint diseases in the horse 10:00AM–10:30AM LONG BREAK IN THE TRADESHOW AREA 10:30AM–11:30AM 1 CEU Pecos Session 302: Rehabilitation of the Equine Athlete: Putting It Into Play —with Sherry Johnson, DVM, MS, DACVSMR This lecture will discuss evolving rehabilitative strategies used for the most common performance horse injuries in a case-example format. Literature micro-bursts will also be utilized to highlight scientific advancements for various rehabilitation modalities in current clinical use. Attendees will be encouraged to participate in the step-wise rehabilitative decision-making approach for discussion of commonly encountered rehabilitation cases to further develop out-the-door strategies for clinical application.
