Join this Movora-sponsored workshop on November 6th for the Advanced CCL repair in Dogs with Excessive Tibial Plateau Angle (TPA) Workshop presented by VOI at the Hawaii Veterinary Medical Association Annual Conference at the Hawaii Convention Center, Honolulu, HI

Workshop Description

 Now that you have mastered surgical correction in routine cases of CrCL injury in dogs, are you ready to tackle more difficult patients? Routine extracapsular repair of CCL tears often fail in dogs having an excessive slope of the tibial plateau. This course will introduce you to 3 straight-forward techniques that can be used successfully to treat these patients. Additional training is suggested to develop the techniques more completely. We will demonstrate a new planning application (vPOP PRO) that can be used on your phone, computer or tablet to plan any orthopedic problem. Surgical treatment of this condition can be simple and rewarding.

Instructors

Workshop Objectives

1. Understand the effects of an excessive angle of the tibial plateau (eTPA) in dogs with CCL tears.

2. To learn how to plan and perform a modified cranial closing wedge osteotomy (mCCWO) to stabilize dogs having CCL and eTPA.

3. To learn how to plan and perform a double-cut TPLO to stabilize dogs having CCL and eTPA.

4. To learn how to plan and perform a CORA-based leveling osteotomy (CBLO) to stabilize dogs having CCL and eTPA.
