Workshop Description

Dogs (typically small breeds) will often present with acute onset lameness secondary to complete cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Upon physical exam, the stifle is very unstable, and a Grade 2-3 patella luxation is often present as well. The patella luxation is aggravated by the presence of excess internal rotational instability due to the CrCl injury. To return the patient to normal function, the CrCl injury must be addressed (stabilized) as well as the patella luxation. The technique described in this laboratory allows the attending surgeon to stabilize the craniocaudal laxity with an isometric extracapsular procedure that allows stabilization of the patella luxation using standard technique.  Following the lecture and case review, participants will perform all these different techniques on plastic bone models.  Postoperative management will also be discussed.

Workshop Objectives

• Study stifle extracapsular repair, treatment of meniscal tears and meniscal release and treatment of MPL.
• Update your knowledge on practical surgical techniques and procedures and become familiarized with the latest technology to utilize.
• Increase confidence levels when performing various soft tissue and orthopedic surgery procedures.
• Gain a better knowledge of the regional anatomy related to the surgical procedure.
