Advanced TPLO (2 Days)

Course Description

This course is intended for veterinary professionals who have completed an introductory TPLO course and are ready to take on more specialized, advanced cases.

Now that you're comfortable with TPLO surgery for routine CrCL injuries, are you ready to tackle more challenging patients? This two-day advanced course is designed for veterinary professionals looking to expand their expertise in treating complex joint conditions using TPLO techniques. The course will focus on modifying the basic TPLO procedure to treat more complex situations with CrCL repair including:

• TPLO in toy breed dogs and cats
• TPLO with concomitant patellar luxation
• Treatment of rotational instability after TPLO
• TPLO in dogs have an excessive slope of the tibial plateau (eTPA)
• Surgical revision of common complications with TPLO

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to confidently approach complex TPLO surgeries and modifications, ensuring excellent functional outcomes for smaller patients and those with challenging joint conditions.

Course Objectives:

1. Learn how to approach TPLO surgery in toy breeds and cats, addressing unique anatomical considerations.
2. Gain proficiency in using the vPOP Planning App for pre-surgical planning for toy breed TPLO and dogs having excessive slope of the tibila plateau (eTPA).
3. Learn how to modify the TPLO procedure in patients with concomitant patellar luxation.
4. Master TPLO combined with an extracapsular ligament to control internal rotation for improved surgical outcomes.
5. Learn how to modify the TPLO procedure in patients with eTPA using mCCWO and double-cut TPLO.
6. Learn revision surgical techniques to treat common TPLO complications.
