The results provide proof-of-concept that established joint stiffness can be resolved non-surgically
An intra-articular injection of chloramphenicol may reduce degeneration of articular cartilage.
Jaccoud’s arthropathy in humans with systemic lupus erythematosus may represent a homologous presentation.
Further research is needed before intravenous mesenchymal stem cells can be recommended as a treatment for elbow osteoarthritis in dogs.
The high variances in PTA measurement in less experienced observers may influence the clinical outcome of surgery.
The spontaneous OA dog model has a key role in developing successful treatments for translational medicine.
NCM has potential in a regenerative therapy for disc degeneration, and warrants additional in vivo studies.
The aim of this article is to review potential regenerative treatment strategies for canine IVD degeneration, with specific emphasis on cell-based strategies.
Future exploration of the canine model as a model of IVD-associated spinal pain will further demonstrate its translational capabilities with the added ethical benefit of treating an existing veterinary patient population with IVDD.
Hydroxyapatite and titanium bone substitutes favour from shockwave treatment, whereas tricalcium phosphate does not.
