Arthroscopic Surgery
|
|
We have 30 years experience
performing arthroscopic surgery. This procedure utilizes specialty
arthroscopic equipment to visualize defects within joints and tendons.
Some of these defects include OCD fragments, fractures, osteochondral
fragments (bone chips) and tendon lesions. Surgical correction of these
lesions and after-care management allows horses to return to work and
performance.

Throat Surgery

We use the endoscopy of the upper
respiratory tract to diagnose conformational abnormalities of the larynx
in the horse. If your horse proves to be an ideal surgical candidate, we
can perform soft tissue surgery to stabilize and facilitate better air
flow with this surgical procedure. Click the link below for more
information regarding upper respiratory tract abnormalities within the

Using advanced
LASER technology we routinely perform neurectomy surgeries. This
procedure can provide your horse with pain-free performance, use and/or
retirement for several years if proven to be an ideal surgical
candidate. This procedure is often performed in horses with heel pain
and/or navicular disease. Click the link below for more information
