Objectives and goals of the course
This TPLO course is designed for practicing veterinarians with experience in small animal orthopaedic surgery. The participants will became familiar with the planning and execution of the most commonly performed procedure in cranial cruciate deficient stifle using one of the most versatile TPLO locking system.
The detailed theoretical sessions will bring the knowledge of rationale, case selection, preoperative planning, surgical execution and potential complications in TPLO procedure. The structure of the labs will allows the participants to learn the procedure in a “step by step” manner first on a bone models and then on a cadaver species.

Objectives and goals of the course
This two days course is designed for veterinary practitioners with some experience in treatment of fractures and other orthopaedic conditions in small animals. Some anatomical differences makes the orthopaedic care in feline patients more challenging and might reflects to the treatment options. The course will consists of theoretical sessions alternating with small group practicals on cadaver specimens. This will allows the participants to implement the knowledge delivered during the theoretical parts in the practical sessions starting with performing the surgical approach to different bones and using different implants for stabilising some of the most commonly seen fractures in feline patients.
Overview of most common fracture scenarios in feline patients
Decision making process in fracture planning
Interactive case-oriented discussion
After the course, participants will be able to construct a treatment plan and will become familiar how to treat most common orthopaedic conditions and fractures in feline patients.
