Join us on July 12, 2026, for our IMEX Advanced Small Animal Circular & Hybrid External Skeletal Fixation (ESF) Dry-lab workshop sponsored by Knight Benedikt at Mantra Legends Hotel in Surfers Paradise, Australia!

This intensive one-day, hands-on course is intended for veterinary surgical specialists seeking to advance their expertise in circular and hybrid external skeletal fixation techniques. Through a structured blend of focused lectures, guided laboratory sessions, and small-group case discussions, participants will progress from advanced fracture management concepts to complex applications, including MIPO, deformity correction, antebrachial length discrepancies, elbow incongruity, and trans-articular stabilization. Emphasis is placed on high-level clinical decision-making, construct selection, and technical execution, with multiple labs allowing specialists to refine techniques and troubleshoot challenging cases. The day concludes with collaborative discussion to reinforce learning and support immediate translation to specialty practice.

Registration Fee: $1,000 AUD ex. GST per person

Key Skills

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

• Refine understanding of indications and biomechanical principles of circular and hybrid external skeletal fixation in complex cases.
• Apply advanced circular and hybrid constructs for stabilization of appendicular long bone fractures, including minimally invasive (MIPO) applications.
• Develop and execute acute deformity correction strategies using hybrid fixation constructs.
• Critically evaluate and manage antebrachial length discrepancies and elbow incongruity.
• Assess indications and techniques for trans-articular applications, including arthrodesis, within a specialty setting.

What's Included
