Tibial Plateau-Leveling Osteotomy
Online Lecture and Wet Lab
Tibial plateau-leveling osteotomies have become popular
techniques for the treatment of canine cranial cruciate ligament disease. This
course is designed for the veterinarian who wishes to learn/refine the tibial
plateau-leveling osteotomy technique and to understand the major advantages of PAX
Polyaxial Locking TPLO Plate System.
Part One of this course is a pre-recorded
online lecture that includes a comprehensive discussion aetiopathogenesis, clinical
examination, radiographic considerations, TPLO biomechanics, patient selection,
complications related to TPLO surgery, pre-surgical planning, instrumentation, surgical
technique, and peri/post-operative management.
Part Two of this course is a
hands-on workshop. Participants will perform the TPLO technique on bone models
and canine cadavers under faculty supervision. This lab is only for
veterinarians who already have a thorough knowledge of the relevant stifle
anatomy, extensive stifle surgery experience, and prior training in bone
plating techniques and principles.
The online lecture will be available for 30 days before the hands-on wet lab. The online lecture includes the following modules:
