This course is designed to equip you with the skills to manage orthopaedic trauma in cats, with a focus on the key anatomical differences between feline and canine patients.
You'll cover:
- Pelvic fractures including ilial shaft fractures and sacro-iliac separation
- Humeral fractures
- Tibial fractures
- Femoral fractures
- Radius\ulna fractures
- Metacarpal fractures
This course will be predominantly practical with lectures to highlight important points. Pre- and post-op radiographs will be used to aid planning and review of surgeries. Reading and assimilation of pre-course material is essential to get the most from this course and time to do this will need to be set aside prior to attending.
You should have a solid understanding of the principles of fracture fixation, lag screw fixation, surgical approaches and orthopaedic surgical techniques. This is not a basic course.
Digital course notes provided.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided on the day.
