Managing orthopaedic cases in practice is energising and rewarding. However, breaking into this field and advancing our surgical skills is hampered by infrequent access to suitable cases. This 2-day orthopaedic event prioritises practical surgical time, with the goal of up-skilling delegates quickly and effectively.
Day 1 focuses on fracture repair techniques in the canine pelvic limb. Lectures will cover the topics of patient stabilisation, fracture biomechanics and fracture planning, appropriate use of implants, and post-operative assessment.
Sawbones are used on day 1
Day 2 focusses on surgical management of hip luxation, with additional teaching on capital physeal fractures. Lectures will cover the diagnosis and treatment options for hip luxation and capital physeal fractures, plus the indications and surgical technique for femoral head and neck excision.
Cadavers are used on day 2.
Who is it for?
The course is suitable for all general practitioners looking to get-ahead in small animal orthopaedic surgery, including early career surgeons with a budding interest in orthopaedics. Day 1 and 2 can be attended together or individually; please note the practical benefit of practising with sawbones on day 1 followed by cadaver practice on day 2.
