1. An Introduction to Plates and Screws in Veterinary Surgery
Orthopaedic traumatology is a common scenario facing the veterinary surgeon. In recent years the advances made in the implants available to the veterinary market has exploded. Plates and screws represent the most commonly used implant system in veterinary orthopaedic traumatology. There are multiple different plate and screw systems that all have advantages and disadvantages. The goal of this discussion is to provide an introduction to the most commonly used plate and screw systems, their application and use in the veterinary field. This will encompass the systems themselves as well as the basic concepts of application.
2. Micro-Hip in Dogs and Cats – Why a Femoral Head Ostectomy is not always the best option
Coxofemoral disease is common in companion animals. These conditions can be developmental, such as hip dysplasia or acquired, such as trauma. In the older literature, the majority of studies were focused on the medium to large breed dogs, focusing on development, treatment and surgical management of osteoarthritis secondary to coxofemoral orthopaedic disease, often hip dysplasia. Surgical options for coxofemoral joints with debilitating osteoarthritis are limited to salvage procedures such as total hip replacement (THR) or femoral head ostectomy (FHO). In this session, the procedures, outcome comparisons, possible complications, etc will be discussed.
Registration
Because of the COVID-19 social distancing regulations, the venue allows a maximum of 38 participants. Registration is required for attendance, and seats will be provided on a first come first serve basis. Please register early to avoid disappointment!
