  • CBLO Principles and Surgery (August 2025)
    Includes a Live In-Person Event on 08/23/2025 at 8:00 AM (EDT)

    August 23 - 24, 2025 | Park City, Utah | Don Hulse, DVM, DACVS

    Summary

    CORA Based Leveling Osteotomy (CBLO) is a procedure where the tibial plateau angle is modified by centering the saw blade at the location of the CORA (center of rotation of angulation). In doing so there is no secondary translation, i.e., the proximal anatomic axis and distal anatomic axis are aligned. The osteotomy is stabilized with an implant specially designed locking plate and counter-sink compression screw. The course will detail surgical planning, surgical technique, post-operative management, complications, and long-term outcome. In this course participants will familiarize themselves with the CBLO procedure through lecture, clinical case presentations, radiographic pre-operative planning, and by performing the procedures on saw bone models and cadavers. Course participants will learn basic techniques in addition to techniques including management of Juvenile CCL injury with CBLO, small breed CBLO application (small plastic bone), and CBLO with concurrent patella luxation correction

    Learning Objectives

    • At the end of the course, each participant will be able to identify the position of the normal proximal CORA in the canine tibia on a lateral radiographic view. 
    • At the end of the course, each participant will be able to identify modalities to facilitate diagnosis of the CrCL deficient stifle. 
    • At the end of the course, each participant will be able to describe the surgical anatomy and approach to the stifle. 
    • At the end of the course, each participant will be able to describe procedures to examine the menisci and identify tears in the medial or lateral meniscus. 
    • At the end of the course, each participant will be able to describe the CORA based osteotomy as a procedure to treat ACL injury in the dog. 


    Participants are encouraged to invite a technician/assistant to join them for the course. Develop your surgical team when you train alongside each other to perform new procedures. Technicians/Assistants must be registered for the same product as their respective veterinarian in order to attend the course.

  • Advanced Fracture Repair 1: Complicated Humerus and Radial/Ulnar Fractures (October 2025)
    Includes a Live In-Person Event on 10/09/2025 at 8:00 AM (MDT)

    October 9 - 10, 2025 | Baltimore, MD | Brian, S. Beale, DVM, DACVS, ACVS Founding Fellow - MIS

    RACE ID: 20-1298313
    CE Hours: 16

    Overall Course Description:

    This is an advanced level course designed for practitioners that have completed the “Principles of Fracture Repair” course (or equivalent) and have experience with fracture repair. The course is one of three advanced courses designed to train veterinarians to reach a high level of expertise in veterinary orthopedics. These techniques are difficult and quite demanding. They require a firm understanding of orthopedic principles, tissue handling, use of power equipment, locking plate technique, and use of bone clamps and other orthopedic instrumentation.  

    Fractures of the humerus and radius/ulna are common in dogs and cats. This course will discuss decision-making, surgical approach, fracture reduction techniques and surgical repair of different types of simple and comminuted fractures of the humerus and radius/ulna.

    This course is designed to take the general practitioner to a higher level in fracture repair.  We will teach reliable techniques and give valuable practical tips useful in repairing simple and more challenging comminuted fractures. New implant designs have made fracture repair much simpler and more affordable. In addition, postoperative management of patients has also been simplified and complications are rare if the principles of fracture repair are followed.

  • Advanced Fracture Repair 2: Complicated Femoral and Tibial Fractures (October 2025)
    Includes a Live In-Person Event on 10/11/2025 at 8:00 AM (EDT)

    October 11 - 12, 2025 | Baltimore, MD | Brian S. Beale, DVM, DACVS, ACVS Founding Fellow - MIS Orthopedics

    Overall Course Description:

    This is an advanced level course designed for practitioners that have completed the “Principles of Fracture Repair” course (or equivalent) and have experience with fracture repair. The course is one of three advanced courses designed to train veterinarians to reach a high level of expertise in veterinary orthopedics. These techniques are difficult and quite demanding. They require a firm understanding of orthopedic principles, tissue handling, use of power equipment, locking plate technique, and use of bone clamps and other orthopedic instrumentation.  

    Fractures of the femur and tibia are common in dogs and cats. This course will discuss decision-making, surgical approach, fracture reduction techniques and surgical repair of different types of simple and comminuted fractures of the femur and tibia.

    This course is designed to take the general practitioner to a higher level in fracture repair.  We will teach reliable techniques and give valuable practical tips useful in repairing simple and more challenging comminuted fractures. New implant designs have made fracture repair much simpler and more affordable. In addition, postoperative management of patients has also been simplified and complications are rare if the principles of fracture repair are followed.

    This course will familiarize participants with fracture repair techniques through lecture and clinical case presentations. Following lecture and case review, participants will repair fractures on plastic bone models and cadavers. Postoperative radiographs will be taken to evaluate the participants repair technique.

     Learning Objectives:

    1.     Understand the principles of bone healing and the differences between secondary and primary bone healing.

    2.     Review fracture classification and choice of fixation for fractures of the femur and tibia.

    3.     Discuss the concept of direct versus indirect fracture reduction and decision making on approach.

    4.     Learn how to correctly apply locking bone plates, plate and rod repair, lag screws and pin and tension band.

    5.     Discuss fracture fixation and surgical approaches for proximal, diaphyseal and distal fractures of the tibia, and femur.
