Intratendinous Genipin Injection in Horses With Tendon Injuries

Summary

Our study is the first to use genipin, a naturally occurring collagen cross-linking agent, as a therapeutic agent to treat superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) injuries in horses. The promising approach of intratendinous genipin injection and tendon mechanical enhancement could be a viable alternative to current therapies for SDFT injuries.
