The Impact of Corrective Surgeries

From The Paulick Report Dr. Larry Bramlage (DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVS) is an internationally recognized equine orthopedic surgeon and partner at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Lexington, Ky. A former president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners, Bramlage has been received numerous honors during his veterinary career, including the Special Award of Merit from the British Equine Veterinary Association and the Jockey Club Gold Medal from The Jockey Club. He serves as a liaison to the media in the event of equine injuries at major racing events, including the Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup.

Bramlage spoke with the Paulick Report about corrective surgeries of Thoroughbred foals and yearlings, and the impact the procedures may have on racing or the breed itself.

Excerpts of the interview appeared in print editions of the Paulick Report Special distributed earlier this week at the Keeneland September yearling sale.
