Four cases of equine lameness were treated with intra-articular polysulphated glycosaminoglycan. Two, two-year-old flat racers were treated conservatively after traumatic injury. They subsequently became lame owing to the formation of new bone and osteophytes. Two older steeplechasers were lame owing to degenerative joint disease. The four horses were treated with intra-articular injections of polysulphated glycosaminoglycans and, after three or four injections, they became clinically sound and were able to continue racing with varying degrees of success.
四例马跛行采用关节内注射多硫酸化糖胺聚糖进行治疗。两匹两岁的平地赛马在遭受创伤性损伤后接受了保守治疗。随后，由于新骨和骨赘的形成，它们变得跛行。另外两匹年长的障碍赛马因退行性关节病而跛行。这四匹马接受了关节内注射多硫酸化糖胺聚糖的治疗，经过三四次注射后，它们在临床上恢复健康，并能够不同程度地成功继续参赛。
