Who: Dr. Jack Davey BVetBiol/BVetSc (Hons I), MANZCVS (SAS), Dip ECVS (SA)
Description: This two-day workshop will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how to perform TPLO, and how to assess and treat meniscal disease through a mini-arthrotomy. This workshop includes dry labs, patient-specific cadaver practice, radiography and personalised Decision Support for immediate feedback.
TPLO offers the best long-term outcome of all cruciate disease treatments. However, due to its complexity, traditional TPLO can be out of reach for many veterinarians.
At OssAbility, the learning curve has been removed by creating a TPLO Guide that gives you precise control of the osteotomy position and rotation correction, as well as a patient-specific preoperative plan provided by our specialist-backed Decision Support service, so you can perform TPLO surgery with confidence.
