Comparison of owner-reported recurrent clinical signs of thoracolumbar disk herniation following multiple chondroitinase ABC intradiskal injections or routine surgical management

Key Points

• This research aims to compare the effects of chondroitinase ABC injections and surgical management on recurrent signs of disk herniation.
• Compared owner-reported signs post-treatment
• Examined effects of multiple ChABC intradiskal injections
• Evaluated routine surgical management outcomes
• ChABC injections potentially reduce recurrent clinical signs
• Surgical management showed different effectiveness
• Prophylactic effects of ChABC were noted against disk herniation
