Be it trail riding, friendly competition, or elite equestrian sport, some degree of lameness due to joint pain or soft-tissue injury is inevitable for many equine athletes. Decades of research have led Lisa Fortier, DVM, PhD, DACVS, to a lameness treatment plan that “capitalizes on the patient’s own ability for healing.” Fortier, the James Law Professor of Surgery at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, has dedicated her career to musculoskeletal research and is a leader in the field of orthobiologics. Fortier was the 28th presenter of the Milne Lecture at the 2024 American Association of Equine Practitioner’s Convention and entertained the audience with her journey from the whispers of the regenerative medicine concept to the widespread clinical application of orthobiologics for restoring biological function.
