Cranial Closing Wedge Ostectomy (CCWO) is the universal surgery to manage canine cranial cruciate ligament disease. 
Suitable for dogs large and small young and old it offers flexibility beyond any other tibial osteotomy technique. 

In the morning session we cover the key objectives before practicing the technique on saw bone and then in the wet lab for a hands-on practical. 
Learn patient assessment, pre-operative planning, implant selection, instrumentation, postoperative care, and complication handling. 
Gain hands-on experience through dry and wet lab sessions for confident surgical execution.

• To understand pre-operative surgical planning and implant selection
• To understand the post-operative management of patients
