Feline Orthopaedics; the Pelvis and Hindlimb (Intermediate Level)

 

Overview

This intermediate level course is a highly practical course based on common orthopaedic conditions of the hindlimb.  

Practical / dissection time will be maximised, and theoretical “teaching” time will be minimised.  

Topics to be covered can be adjusted to suit the delegates learning requirements, depending on class size, disparity of requirements and delegate requests. This will be determined by completion of a pre-course questionnaire and used to define leaning objectives specifically tailored to the delegates.   

Topics to be covered include:

• Surgical approach to the feline hip  

• Surgical approach to the feline ilial wing & ilial body  

• Surgical approach to the femur  

• Hip: capital physeal fracture repair, hip luxation stabilisation, femoral head and neck excision arthroplasty  

• Ilial body fracture repair  

• Sacroiliac fracture luxation  

• Femoral diaphyseal fracture repair

• Distal femoral metaphyseal (supracondylar) fracture repair
