The aim of the course is to take you to the next step in orthopaedic surgery, by combining practical fracture fixation exercises with detailed pre-operative planning and post-operative appraisal of fixation.
This unique course will allow you to go through the whole process of fracture fixation. Beginning with imaging and guiding the delegates through assessment, pre-operative planning, and execution, all the way to critical post-operative assessment.
The two days will consist of lectures, group discussions, and practical sessions.
This course is aimed at veterinary surgeons with an interest in and experience of, orthopaedic surgery. This is not a beginner’s course.
Digital course notes, lunch, and refreshments will be provided.
