This beginner-friendly, two-day workshop provides veterinarians with the essential knowledge and practical skills for diagnosing and treating medial patellar luxation (MPL). You'll learn to accurately grade the condition, understand its underlying causes, and confidently perform surgical techniques such as sulcoplasty and tibial tuberosity transposition for Grade 2 cases. Hands-on laboratory sessions will extend your expertise in managing clinically affected cases. Gain practical tips and real-world strategies to significantly boost your confidence in treating this common orthopedic condition.  During this workshop you will gain hands-on experience with wedge recession, block recession, and SCRT patellar techniques. 

Following the lecture and case review, participants will perform all these different techniques on cadavers and plastic bone models. Postoperative management will also be discussed.
