Two-Day Fracture Course

March 7-8, 2026

This course is designed for small animal practitioners seeking practical, effective methods to manage long bone fractures in dogs and cats. Participants will learn simplified techniques suitable for both straightforward and comminuted fractures, using modern implants that enhance surgical efficiency and reduce costs. By following key principles of fracture repair, complications can be minimized and outcomes improved.

Through a combination of lectures, clinical case discussions, and hands-on practice, attendees will gain confidence in choosing appropriate fixation methods and performing repairs. Practical sessions include fracture repair on plastic bone models and canine specimens, followed by postoperative radiographs to assess technique and reinforce learning.
