Workshops are held over two consecutive days at each location. Both our full and half-day sessions give participants the chance to carry out procedures on plastic bone models under the instruction of highly regarded tutors.
Day 1
am Canine Cruciate Repair
pm Patella Luxation
Day 2
Full Day Fracture Repair
Each workshop is pitched at a level suitable for all veterinary surgeons and general practitioners at every stage of their professional development and can be booked individually or together for a discounted price.
Canine Cruciate Repair (1/2 Day am)
MMP - an evolution of the TTA procedure for treatment of lameness due to cranial cruciate failure.
The Modified Maquet Procedure (MMP) is an evolution of the TTA procedure for treatment of lameness due to cranial cruciate failure.
The course is in two parts: a lecture based introduction followed by a practical session using synthetic bone models of the stifle, animations and video support material will also be used. The development of the technique, implants and associated instrumentation will be described and a detailed review of surgical technique and clinical outcomes will cover all aspects of MMP.
Patella Luxation (1/2 Day pm)
RidgeStop™ - a novel surgical technique for treatment of patella luxation.
This simple, affordable alternative to sulcoplasty surgery that can be used alone, as the sole treatment for patella luxation, or as an adjunct to re-alignment operations.
The course is in two parts: a lecture based overview of the pathogenesis and treatment selection in patella luxation and a review of current surgical treatment options. This will be followed by an introduction to RidgeStop™, its application and case presentations, before a practical session where delegates will learn to use the RidgeStop™ instrumentation and implants on a synthetic bone model of a femur.
Fracture Repair (Full Day)
SOP™ - Locking Plate System for greater flexibility & more successful surgical outcomes
The SOP™ is a locking plate system for use in veterinary orthopedics. Locking plates are powerful and versatile implants but the mechanics and methods of application are significantly different from conventional plate systems.
The course will cover locking plate mechanics, case selection, methods of application as well as modes of failure and a review of the extensive published literature on the SOP™ system.

The MMP kit has transformed our management of CCL failure cases and the PCA plate worked wonders in a 6 year old Border Collie with bilateral carpal hyperextension and advanced osteoarthritis secondary to immune-mediated polyarthritis - without it I doubt if that dog would still be here.
