This course is designed to teach participants the technical aspects of a variety of canine soft tissue and orthopedic surgery procedures. Some theory will be included in the lectures but emphasis will be placed on how to perform each procedure. The instructors will utilize video clips of clinical cases that represent the procedures participants will perform in the lab. Surgical procedures will be performed immediately after viewing the video. Topics have been chosen that represent surgical conditions commonly seen in veterinary practice.
