What can you do for the carpus or tarsus that cannot be returned to full function by standard orthopedic surgery? What options for carpal or tarsal salvage are available and when should they be performed? 

Participants will develop their knowledge, practical skills and clinical decision-making about how and when to perform an arthrodesis in this practical one-day course. The course will consist of lectures and clinical cases, followed by practical surgical exercises using cadavers. This course covers investigations and treatment into carpal and tarsal injuries and the decision-making process of which arthrodesis techniques are indicated.

Arthrodesis: When it is warranted and how to carry it out?

Cranial Closing Wedge Osteotomy (CCWO) has become a popular technique for the treatment of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs that have a steep tibial plateau or joint angle, such as West Highland Terriers. It can also be a preferred method of treatment in smaller dogs where techniques like TTA may be difficult. In the morning session we cover the key objectives before practising the technique on saw bone and then in the wet lab for a hands-on practical.

What previous delegates have said: 
"The quality of the speakers and wetlabs are equivalent to any I have attended in UK & Europe. Well to all involved. Excellent CPD."

Tibial plateau levelling osteotomies have become popular techniques for the treatment of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease. Whilst it is more invasive than some of the other techniques, there is some evidence that it may produce better results than other surgeries long term.

This highly practical, one and a half day, cadaver based course will start with a morning session on the pathophysiology of cranial cruciate ligament disease, the biomechanics of TPLO and surgical planning. In addition, there will be an opportunity to practice planning using digital imaging software. The afternoon and following morning sessions will focus on familiarity with the instrumentation and an opportunity to practice the technique in a dry lab as well as on cadavers.
