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.
