Abstract
Lesions to the horse's tendon are very frequent and are a non negligible reason for early retirement of sport and leisure horses. For decades man has been searching for "the" treatment but unfortunately most of the known treatments have empiric bases and very few have actually proven their real efficiency. Diagnostic techniques like ultrasound allows to better evaluate the improvements made in tendonitis therapies. Stem cells and gene therapy are probably the most innovating of them, but their long-term effectiveness still has to stand the test of times. This article gives an overview of the possible treatments of tendonitis today.
