Workshop Description

Do you have difficulty approaching or reducing long bone fractures? Are you interested in learning simple techniques designed for the general practitioner to repair the most common fractures in dogs and cats? This laboratory is the one for you! We will teach reliable techniques and give valuable practical tips useful in repairing simple and more challenging comminuted fractures of long bones. New implant designs have made fracture repair much simpler and more affordable. In addition, postoperative management of patients has also been simplified and complications are rare if the principles of fracture repair are followed. 

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

  • Understand the principles of bone healing and the differences between secondary and primary bone healing.  
  • Review fracture classification and choice of fixation. 
  • Discuss the concept of direct versus indirect fracture reduction and decision making on approach. 
  • Appreciate the biomechanics and decision making for intramedullary pins, cerclage wire, bone screws, bone plates and methods of bone plating (compression, neutralization, and bridging).
