Workshop Description

 

Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA), invented by KYON founder, Dr. Slobodan Tepic, has become an accepted and broadly applied solution to cranial cruciate rupture. As the inventor of TTA, we have a unique insight and commitment to the procedure and device, supporting over 20 in vitro tests, various publications, posters and presentations.

Top reasons why participants take a TTA workshop:

  •  Offering TTA or TTA-2 enhances the standard of care you can provide to patients.
  •  TTA has a shorter learning curve compared to other geometry modifying procedures.
  •  The avoidance of an osteotomy through load bearing bone returns patients to activity sooner than other geometry modifying procedures.
  •  A desire to expand your veterinary skill set and knowledge.

Why with KYON?

  • Our emphasis on preoperative planning and surgical execution are like no other TTA workshop.
  • The exceptional faculty of TTA instructors have contributed enormously to the refinement of the technique, conquering challenging patients, and understanding clinical outcomes.
  • Strengthen your network with other professionals and instructors.
  • KYON provides comprehensive supplementary resources.
  • Small groups and extensive cadaver training in the wet lab workshops.

 

Workshop Objectives

  • The goal of participants of this practical TTA workshop is to improve your understanding of all critical aspects of TTA and TTA-2 and equip you with the necessary skills to achieve consistently successful clinical outcomes.
  •  Function of the stifle and rationale: You will review the anatomy, structure and function of the stifle as well as the TTA rationale and theory.
  •  Examination of the stifle: Learn to perform a comprehensive physical and orthopedic examination to identify a cranial cruciate deficient stifle.
  •  Pre-op planning: Learn how to correctly plan a TTA procedure using physical templates and/or digital templating tools.
  •  Healing process: Understand the biological and biomechanical principles of the TTA healing process
  •  Surgical technique: A solid technique is key to the success of the surgery. You will learn the surgical technique on bone models using the KYON system.
  •  Post-op evaluation: Evaluation of the procedure and discussion of risks, potential intra-operative complications, pitfalls and technical mistakes.
  •  Advanced techniques: Presentations of advanced techniques on new and ongoing research
  •  Complication management: Discussion and presentation of personal and overall clinical experience as well as avoiding/managing complications

 

Prerequisites

KYON TTA Training is appropriate for veterinarians who are currently performing lateral suture stabilization techniques, joint inspection by arthrotomy and have a general knowledge of fracture plating.
Your OR and hospital should be suitable for orthopedic surgery.
Some surgeons and clinics will have more preparation to do than others. We are happy to discuss your specific circumstances and chart a path.
