Workshop Description

Join this dynamic, hands-on course designed to equip veterinarians with the skills and confidence to perform tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO)—a leading technique for treating cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) disease in dogs of all sizes. Led by experienced instructors in an engaging small-group setting, this course combines focused lectures with extensive hands-on labs using bone models and cadavers.

Participants will learn the principles and rationale of TPLO, gain essential preoperative planning skills, and refine their technique using state-of-the-art equipment and locking plate technology. You'll perform full TPLO procedures, evaluate your work through postoperative radiographs, and explore best practices for postoperative care and complication management

Ideal for general practitioners with a foundational understanding of stifle anatomy and bone plating, this course delivers a practical, confidence-boosting experience—empowering you to bring advanced orthopedic solutions to your patients and elevate your surgical practice.

Workshop Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will:

• Understand the principles, indications, and rationale behind TPLO for treating CrCL disease in dogs.
• Identify critical stifle anatomy and radiographic landmarks to confidently plan TPLO procedures across varying breeds and patient presentations.
• Develop technical proficiency in performing TPLO using cadaver labs and bone models, with guidance on precision techniques and avoiding complications
• Apply best practices for postoperative care and complication management to support optimal patient outcomes.
• Build confidence and clinical decision-making skills to integrate TPLO into everyday surgical practice safely and effectively

Prerequisites

This workshop is appropriate for specialist and general practitioners who have an interest in improving their orthopedic knowledge and skills.  Participants should have a basic knowledge of anatomy and surgical approach to the stifle as well as principles of bone plate application like a Principles of Fracture or Stifle Stabilization workshop.
