The Principles of Fracture Repair course is designed to provide participants with a basic, fundamental knowledge of bone healing and the favorable impact internal fixation of fractures can have on it.

Lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions (plastic bone and cadaver) will focus on and reinforce:

• surgical approach
• tips on successful fracture reduction
• repair of simple and challenging comminuted fractures

During this course, participants will familiarize themselves with the implant system through lecture and clinical case presentations. Following lecture and case review, participants will repair fractures on cadavers and plastic bone models. Postoperative management will also be discussed.

This course is appropriate for specialists, residents, interns and general practitioners with an interest in improving their orthopedic knowledge and skills.

Participants should leave this course with the information and experience necessary to apply these principles and techniques to commonly encountered fractures in small animals.

Veterinary Orthopedic Implants provides all equipment and materials for this course.
