This two-day workshop will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how to perform TPLO, and how to assess and treat meniscal disease through a mini-arthrotomy. This workshop includes dry labs, patient-specific cadaver practice, radiography and personalised Decision Support for immediate feedback.
There will be a dry-lab component in this workshop using dry bones paired with VOI TPLO implants. You are welcome to take home your completed dry-bone TPLO model for a charge of $300.00 exc GST. This model is a valuable tool in the clinic, especially when demonstrating and explaining the procedure to clients whose pets will be undergoing this surgery. Please indicate at the time of registration if you would like to purchase your completed TPLO model. The bone and implant set will be invoiced to your clinic following the workshop.
