Workshop Description

This workshop is designed specifically for veterinarians who have completed an introductory course in Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) and are seeking to enhance their surgical proficiency. The focus of this hands-on session is to provide a platform for participants to refine their TPLO techniques through multiple cadaveric procedures.

Participants will spend much of their time performing TPLO procedures across the 2-day workshop. The workshop features live demonstrations by experienced instructors, followed by supervised practice. Post-Op radiographs will be taken and discussed.

Workshop Objectives

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

• Demonstrate improved surgical skills in performing TPLO, including accurate osteotomy, precise plate placement, and effective stabilization.
• Identify and manage complications associated with TPLO surgery.
• Assess and interpret postoperative outcomes, including evaluating radiographic results and managing recovery protocols to ensure optimal long-term success.
• Develop enhanced decision-making skills for preoperative planning, intraoperative adjustments, and postoperative care based on case complexity and patient-specific factors.
• Engage in collaborative discussions with peers and instructors about cases, and surgical strategies to continuously improve their practice

This workshop aims to elevate the participant’s expertise and confidence in TPLO surgery, ultimately leading to better outcomes for their patients and enhanced surgical practice.
