Course Overview
This module focuses on hind limb orthopaedic diseases and surgeries. For each joint (hip, stifle and tarsus) an anatomic review, etiology and current knowledge about state of the art treatment options including surgical techniques (hip toggle, iliofemoral sling, extracapsular sutures, Achilles tendon repair etc. ) will be presented and trained. The TPLO (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy) will be trained more in detail on plastic and cadaveric bones. More advanced surgical techniques like the DPO (double pelvic osteotomy) or THR /total hip replacement) will be demonstrated only.
Ortho I is mandatory before continuing with Ortho II.
Learning outcomes:
At the end of the course participant shall:
1. possess the current knowledge to come to a final diagnosis
2. be aware of the current state of the art methods of treatment
3. master common surgical techniques and do or refer more complicated or advanced cases
