ENHANCED SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT HEALING IN 100 HORSES BY STEM CELLS AND OTHER BONE MARROW COMPONENTS

J. R. Douglas, D Herther

Open publisher page 106 citations

Abstract

Suspensory ligament injuries are challenging because healing is slow and reinjuries are common. Healing requires growth factors that stimulate angiogenesis, mitogenesis, and matrix formation. Bone marrow contains growth factors, cells, and fibrinogen, which facilitate healing of damaged tissues. In 100 horses with ligament damage, bone marrow seems to enhance healing.
