Workshop Description - 

Arthrodesis is a technique used to return function to limbs having severe damage to a joint. Arthrodesis is also referred to as “fusion of the joint”. The goal of arthrodesis is bone fusion across the joint to eliminate joint pain and provide joint stability. Arthrodesis may be partial or complete depending on the degree and location of the problem in the joint. Arthrodesis is performed commonly in the carpus and tarsus and less commonly in the shoulder, elbow and stifle. This course will discuss the indications, principles and technique of partial and complete arthrodesis of the carpus, tarsus and shoulder. New implant designs have made arthrodesis much simpler and more affordable. Postoperative management and complications will also be discussed.
