Ultrasonography has become a crucially important diagnostic imaging modality in Equine Orthopaedics and most Equine Practitioners nowadays have access to the necessary equipment. A growing number of equine orthopaedic specialists have furthermore extended the use of ultrasonography creatively to assist with injection techniques and to facilitate minimally invasive surgery. This practical course has been developed to provide equine and mixed animal practitioners who have experience with ultrasonography, with the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills of performing ultrasound-guided orthopaedic injections and ultrasound-assisted surgical techniques, covering all regions of the musculoskeletal apparatus of the horse. Whole horses will be used to recreate a scenario as it might be encountered in live horses. A review of conventional and biologic treatment modalities for orthopaedic conditions will round the course up.To participate in the On-Location Portion, attendees are required to have first worked through the corresponding online Lecture Series Ultrasound-Guided Orthopaedic Injection Techniques & Therapies:'If you have already purchased the Lecture Series independently of the On-Location Portion, please contact the office on [email protected] for a voucher code to reduce the price accordingly.The online Lecture Series addresses the following hot topics via well-illustrated, case-discussions providing a platform for the panel of speakers to share pitfalls, erroneous clinical conclusions and useful tips and tricks:How to get the most out of your ultrasound machinePrinciples of Ultrasound-GuidanceUltrasound-Guided Tendon & Ligament InjectionsUltrasound-Guided Joint Injections of the Limbs (incl. hip & shoulder joints)Ultrasound-Guided Bursal InjectionsCervical Facet Joint InjectionsUltrasound-Guided Back InjectionsLumbosacral & Sacroiliac Injection Techniques Ultrasound-Guided SurgeryConventional Systemic & Intra-Articular Joint Therapies Whats the latest on Regenerative Therapies?Day 1 starts at 15:00h with 3 hours of interactive Case-Discussions, Q&A which will give attendees the unique opportunity to apply what they have learned during Lecture Series in discussion with the world-renowned specialists.
