February 19 - 20, 2026 | Park City, Utah | 2-Day Course
RACE ID: 20-1298313
CE Hours: 16Overall 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 one 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 humerus and radius/ulna.
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, Orthosta sutures and tension bands.
5. Discuss fracture fixation and surgical approaches for proximal, diaphyseal and distal fractures of the humerus, and radius/ulna.
6. Learn how to repair an ulnar fracture combined with a radial head luxation (Monteggia fracture)
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.

April 11-12, 2026 | Park City, Utah | 2-Day Course
Medial patellar luxation (MPL) is a common orthopedic problem in dogs and cats. Successful treatment of these conditions requires accurate diagnosis and assessment. This course will provide up-to-date information on the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of patellar luxation.
Lectures and labs will emphasize techniques that can readily be performed in practice. The course includes surgical treatment of MPL using 3 different types of trochleoplasty, tibial tuberosity transposition, soft tissue balancing techniques and a discussion on when corrective osteotomy may be needed. Participants will also learn how to treat CrCL in patients having concomitant MPL using a novel extracapsular ligament system. Following lecture and case review, participants will perform all these different techniques on cadavers and plastic bone models.Learning Objectives
- Understand the mechanism of patellar luxation
- Learn diagnostic techniques to make surgical decisions and plan
- Learn basic surgical techniques for uncomplicated MPL be deepening the trochlear groove and aligning the quadriceps mechanism using a tibial tuberosity transposition
- Learn how to perform a medial retinacular release and a lateral imbrication to balance soft tissue tension on the patella.
- Learn how to perform a distal femoral osteotomy (DFO)
- Learn how to place an isometric lateral prosthetic ligament to treat concomitant MPL and CCL tears
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.
