Workshop Description

This is an advanced level course designed for general practitioners that have completed the Beale's Best Fracture Principles course (or equivalent) and have some experience with fracture repair. This will be the first in a series of advanced courses that are designed to progressively train veterinarians to reach a high level of expertise in veterinary orthopedics. This course focuses on decision-making and repair of more difficult fractures. Articular fractures can be difficult due to the inability to clearly see the fracture components. In addition, it is essential to achieve perfect anatomic reduction of the articular surface and rigid stabilization. Inadequate reduction will lead to debilitating osteoarthritis and poor stability will lead to non-union. This course will also teach participants how to manage complicated humerus fractures, comminuted ulna fracture in combination with a radial head luxation. These challenging fractures are occasionally seen in dogs and cats. This course will teach the indications and techniques for surgical repair of these difficult but common fractures.

This course will familiarize participants with fracture repair techniques through lecture and clinical case presentations. Following lecture and case review, participants will repair fractures on plastic bone models and cadavers/ Postoperative radiographs will be taken to evaluate the participants repair technique.

Workshop Objectives

• Learn techniques to repair more difficult fractures seen in dogs and cats.
