Value to Your Practice

Luxating patellae is a commonly encountered condition in first opinion canine (and sometimes feline) practice. It is also often noted during routine exams for unrelated reasons. Attending this workshop will equip you with the knowledge to understand the pathophysiology of this condition and be able to formulate customised treatment plans for the benefit of your patients.
