Summary

Are you ready to move on to the next level in cranial cruciate ligament repair? 

TPLO's are a great way to give your patients with CrCL tears an optimal opportunity for a positive outcome, as well as developing a tremendous profit center for your practice. More than 600 general practitioners have learned TPLO from our team of surgeons. Our expert instructors will teach the concepts of TPLO in a small-group setting to maximize individual time with participants. 

This interactive, hands-on course includes lectures and practical, hands-on practice that will teach the theory and method of Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO). Participants will perform TPLO's on plastic bones and cadavers using state-of-the-art equipment and implants. Course participants will use locking plate technology to simplify, increase precision, and reduce complications of the procedure. Participants should have a basic knowledge of anatomy and surgical approach of the stifle and principles of bone plate application. Post-Operative radiographs will be taken to assess the participant's repair technique. Post-Operative management will also be discussed. 

Learning Objectives
