February 22 - 23, 2025 Park City, UT | Javier Avendano, DVM, DACVS-SA
Summary
Do you have difficulty approaching or reducing long bone fractures? Are you interested in learning simple techniques designed for the general practitioner to repair the most common fractures in dogs and cats? This laboratory is the one for you! We will teach reliable techniques and give valuable practical tips useful in repairing simple and more challenging comminuted fractures of long bones. New implant designs have made fracture repair much simpler and more affordable. In addition, postoperative management of patients has also been simplified and complications are rare if the principles of fracture repair are followed.
This course will familiarize participants with fracture repair techniques through lecture and clinical case presentations. Following lecture and case review, participants will repair fractures on plastic bone models and cadavers. Postoperative radiographs will be taken to evaluate the participants repair technique.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the principles of bone healing and the differences between secondary and primary bone healing.
- Review fracture classification and choice of fixation.
- Discuss the concept of direct versus indirect fracture reduction and decision making on approach.
- Appreciate the biomechanics and decision making for intramedullary pins, cerclage wire, bone screws, bone plates and methods of bone plating (compression, neutralization, and bridging).

Summary
Are you ready to move on to the next level in cranial cruciate ligament repair?
TPLO's are a great way to give your patients with CrCL tears an optimal opportunity for a positive outcome, as well as developing a tremendous profit center for your practice. More than 600 general practitioners have learned TPLO from our team of surgeons. Our expert instructors will teach the concepts of TPLO in a small-group setting to maximize individual time with participants.
This interactive, hands-on course includes lectures and practical, hands-on practice that will teach the theory and method of Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO). Participants will perform TPLO's on plastic bones and cadavers using state-of-the-art equipment and implants. Course participants will use locking plate technology to simplify, increase precision, and reduce complications of the procedure. Participants should have a basic knowledge of anatomy and surgical approach of the stifle and principles of bone plate application. Post-Operative radiographs will be taken to assess the participant's repair technique. Post-Operative management will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives
- Know the indications and rationale for TPLO
- Understand the principles of TPLO surgery
- Learn how to correctly plan for a TPLO for different breeds of dogs and cats

This is an advanced level course designed for practitioners that have completed the “Principles of Fracture Repair” course (or equivalent) and have experience with fracture repair. The course is one of three advanced courses designed to train veterinarians to reach a high level of expertise in veterinary orthopedics. These techniques are difficult and quite demanding. They require a firm understanding of orthopedic principles, tissue handling, use of power equipment, locking plate technique, and use of bone clamps and other orthopedic instrumentation.

April 24 - 25, 2025 | Park City, UT | Don Hulse, DVM, DACVS
Summary
TPLO has become a favorite technique of general and specialty veterinarians to treat CrCL tears in all sizes of dogs. TPLO stabilizes the stifle by eliminating cranial tibial thrust. TPLO is an excellent technique for treating partial and complete tears of the CrCL. This 2-day interactive course includes lectures and laboratories to teach participants the theory and method of tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO). Participants will perform TPLO's on plastic bones and cadavers using state of the art equipment and implants. Participants will use locking plate technology to simplify, increase precision and reduce complications of the procedure.
Participants should have a basic knowledge of anatomy and surgical approach to the stifle and principles of bone plate application. Postoperative radiographs will be taken to assess the participant's repair technique. Postoperative management will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how to perform a TPLO with a concomitant patellar luxation.
- Learn how to perform a TPLO with a tibial deformity.
- Learn how to perform a TPLO with an excessive tibial plateau angle.
- Learn how to perform a TPLO in toy and small breed dogs.
- Learn how to revise a TPLO complicated by a postoperative proximal tibial fracture.
Don Hulse
DVM, DACVS, DECVS
