Workshop Description

We get it … not all clients are able to accept a referral for fracture repair, but …   
                         Are you tired of amputating limbs that you know you can save? 
                         Do you have difficulty approaching or reducing long bone fractures?    
                         Are you interested in learning simple techniques designed for the general practitioner to stabilize the most common fractures seen in dogs and cats?   

This blended, online + hands-on, plating course is like NONE other!  If you’re going to be successful with your fracture repairs, you don’t want just SOME of the important principles, you want ALL of them … and this is THE course to put you on right path right from the very start! You’ll prepare for a whopping 15 hours of “hands-on” training by enjoying the ease of our “anytime / anywhere” online learning modules. We’ve taken 4 hours of insightful, valuable learning and broken it down into short 20-minute “easy to absorb” sessions that are easy to fit into your day. Once here in our state of the future CE training center, our friendly, engaged, “no attitude” instructors will provide valuable demonstrations followed by your performing the same procedures on bone models and then cadavers. Each day postoperative radiographs will be made so that you can review and critique your work. Rather than rushing from lecture to lecture, we’ll have time to discuss your work so that you can learn from it and ask those burning questions of yours!   Clinical case discussions will put everything into context and allow us to discuss postoperative care and strategies to reduce complications.   You’ll return to your practice willing and able to save the limbs and the lives of your patients for whom referral to a specialist simply isn’t an option.  

Learning Objectives

• During this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to repair fractures using traditional plates, locking plates, pins & tension band, lag screws. Locking plates and screws (also known as internal fixator) simplify treatment of long bone fractures in small animals. The implant system is easy to use, great for the general practitioner and affordable. The internal fixator shares the convenience of the external fixator without the hassles of postoperative management.
• During this workshop, participants will familiarize themselves with the implants system through lecture and clinical case presentations. Following lecture and case review, participants will repair fractures on cadavers and plastic bone models. Postoperative management will also be discussed. Postoperative radiographs can be taken to assess the participant's repair technique.
• Lecture and hands-on laboratory sessions (plastic bone and cadaver) will focus on and reinforce:
  • Surgical approach
  • Tips on successful fracture reduction
  • Repair of simple and challenging comminuted fractures
