A two-day Masterclass on tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy (TPLO) has been launched by veterinary CPD specialist Improve International. The Masterclass will equip vets with an understanding of how TPLO fits into the range of treatments for one of the commonest causes of serious hindlimb lameness in the adult dog, cranial cruciate ligament failure. It will take place on 13 and 14 September at Improve’s HQ, Alexandra House, Swindon, and will be led by Dr Steve Butterworth, MA VetMB CertVR DSAO MRCVS and RCVS Specialist in Small Animal Surgery (Orthopaedics).

Commenting on the new TPLO Masterclass, Improve’s Veterinary Operations Manager Mrs Juliet Pope BVSc CertSAS MRCVS, said: “We are delighted to offer this new Masterclass, created for a maximum of ten delegates to ensure true one-to-one tutoring, and we thank the team at Freelance Surgical for supporting its development.
“The combination of lectures and practical sessions led by Steve Butterworth will revise relevant surgical anatomy to enable delegates to undertake TPLO procedures with confidence.
