This course will provide up-to-date information on the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency and patellar luxation. Lectures and labs will emphasize techniques that can readily be performed in practice. Participants will learn how to differentiate partial versus complete tears of the CrCL. The course will include sections on stifle extracapsular repair, using nylon leader lines and crimps as well as the OrthoZip system using bone anchors and self-tightening loop, and treatment of MPL using the latest technology and surgical technique.
