VMX Extracapsular Stabilization of the Cranial Cruciate Deficient Stifle in Toy Breeds of Dogs Workshop
Course
About
Workshop Description
Acute cranial cruciate ligament injury is a common problem in Toy Breeds of dogs. The injury is a complete tear of the CrCL resulting in a highly unstable stifle causing severe clinical dysfunction. This workshop will address modalities to arrive at a correct diagnosis, surgical approach and and stabilization with a novel suture/anchor system placed at the isometric sites. In that medial meniscal injury often accompainies CrCL ligament injury, proper systematic exploration of the stifle is a paramount component of the surgery and will be dressed in detail. Ample laboratory time will be structured with lectures to provide participants with the confidence to include this technique into their practice upon returning home. Peri-operative pain management, detailed post-operative care, complications and their management will conclude the course.
