September 25 - 26, 2025 | Park City, UT | Kenneth Bruecker, DVM, MS, DACVS
This course is intended for veterinary professionals who have completed an introductory TPLO course and are ready to take on more specialized, advanced cases.
Now that you're comfortable with TPLO surgery for routine CrCL injuries, are you ready to tackle more challenging patients? This two-day advanced course is designed for veterinary professionals looking to expand their expertise in treating complex joint conditions using TPLO techniques. The course will focus on CrCL repair in toy breed dogs and cats, as well as in dogs with concomitant patellar luxation, providing a deeper understanding of the anatomical challenges and surgical considerations unique to these patients.
Key topics include the addition of isometric extracapsular sutures to stabilize the stifle following TPLO surgery, addressing excessive internal rotation post-surgery, and treating dogs with hyper-lax stifles. Additionally, the course will cover advanced techniques such as TPLO combined with Tibial Tuberosity Transposition (TTT) for managing low-grade medial patellar luxation (MPL), and Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO) for high-grade MPL.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to confidently approach complex TPLO surgeries and modifications, ensuring excellent functional outcomes for smaller patients and those with challenging joint conditions.
Course Objectives
- Learn how to approach TPLO surgery in toy breeds and cats, addressing unique anatomical considerations.
- Gain proficiency in using the vPOP Planning App for pre-surgical planning specific to toy breed TPLO cases.
- Learn how to modify the TPLO procedure in patients with concomitant patellar luxation.
- Master TPLO combined with Isometric Extracapsular Sutures to control internal rotation for improved surgical outcomes.
- Understand and utilize the OrthoSta system for enhanced surgical precision.
- Perform TPLO combined with Tibial Tuberosity Transposition (TTT) for managing low-grade MPL, and Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO) for high-grade MPL.
- Develop a deeper understanding of advanced surgical modifications to improve outcomes in patients with joint deformities.
Participants are encouraged to invite a technician/assistant to join them for the course. Develop your surgical team when you train alongside each other to perform new procedures. Technicians/Assistants must be registered for the same product as their respective veterinarian in order to attend the course.

Brian Beale
DVM, DACVS, ACVS Founding Fellow (Minimally-Invasive Surgery)
H-Town Veterinary Specialists
Dr. Beale knew he was going to be a vet since he was 9 years old. His original inspiration came from his Grandparents. Growing up he often spent his weekends at their home, covered in drool from playing with their English Mastiffs and Saint Bernards. In a recent article (American Humane), Dr. Beale wrote that his grandparents taught him the importance of the human-animal bond and the responsibility we have to give our pets the best care possible.
Dr. Beale’s passion is education. He has spent a large portion of his career teaching in hands-on surgery labs and speaking at large conferences. Dr. Beale co-authored Small Animal Arthroscopy, an industry defining textbook on orthopedics. He has written many other published articles and book chapters on specialized care.
Dr. Beale received his DVM & completed his residency at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. After his board certification he joined Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists in 1992 and practiced there until 2019. In 2020, Dr. Beale founded Beale's Best and Bark City Veterinary Specialists.
Dr. Beale loves being a vet because he feels like he doesn’t have to work a day in his life. He enjoys spending his free time with his 3 kids, Isabel, Danielle, and Jared, and his wife, Mary.
Dr. Beale loves the Houston Zoo and has worked with their expert team of veterinarians on many occasions. Lions, sea turtles, monkeys, sloths, and kangaroos are only a few of the animals Dr. Beale has worked with.
Dr. Beale costarred on NetGeoWILD’s hit series, Animal ER, and he even hosted his own radio show, Your Pet’s Health, which aired on Houston KTRH 740.
