Join us on May 2nd for our Advanced Fracture Management: Locking Plates Dry-lab workshop sponsored by Kahuvet at The Kahuvet Education Center in Auckland, New Zealand!

This highly practical workshop will improve your understanding of fracture management and the use of locking plate systems. It is designed for delegates who have a good understanding of the principles of fracture management.  Delegates will have plenty of opportunity to practice surgical techniques in a dry-lab setting.

This is an advanced veterinary orthopaedics course. It assumes a working knowledge of; bone healing, fracture biomechanics, approach to the trauma patient, orthopaedic surgical principles and the application of standard orthopaedic implants.  If you would like to know more about these topics we recommend our introductory orthopaedic course, “Principles in Fracture Management”.

Course Description

Locking plate technology has transformed the approach to fracture management in small animals. This highly practical workshop will improve your understanding of fracture management and the use of locking plate systems. It is designed for delegates who have a good understanding of the principles of fracture management.

Delegates will spend ample time practising techniques on plastic bones and should finish the course feeling confident in managing fractures with locking plates.

It is intended as an advanced course. Ideally for delegates who have done the principles of fracture management course or who have that level of knowledge.

Course Objectives

At the end of this workshop delegates should be able to:

• Understand the biomechanics of locking plate technology

• Understand the advantages and disadvantages of locking plate versus non locking plate osteosynthesis

• Be able to practically apply locking plates

Value to Your Practice

Attending this workshop will allow you improve your understanding of fracture management and the use of locking plate systems and finish the course feeling confident in managing fractures with locking plates.
