Workshop Description

This course is intended for veterinary professionals who have completed an introductory TPLO course and are ready to take on more specialized, advanced cases.

Now that you're comfortable with TPLO surgery for routine CrCL injuries, are you ready to tackle more challenging patients? This two-day advanced course is designed for veterinary professionals looking to expand their expertise in treating complex joint conditions using TPLO techniques. The course will focus on CrCL repair in toy breed dogs and cats, as well as in dogs with concomitant patellar luxation, providing a deeper understanding of the anatomical challenges and surgical considerations unique to these patients.

Key topics include the addition of isometric extracapsular sutures to stabilize the stifle following TPLO surgery, addressing excessive internal rotation post-surgery, and treating dogs with hyper-lax stifles. Additionally, the course will cover advanced techniques such as TPLO combined with Tibial Tuberosity Transposition (TTT) for managing low-grade medial patellar luxation (MPL), and Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO) for high-grade MPL.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to confidently approach complex TPLO surgeries and modifications, ensuring excellent functional outcomes for smaller patients and those with challenging joint conditions.
