Are you ready to move on to the next level in cranial cruciate ligament repair? This 3-day interactive course includes lectures and laboratories to teach participants the theory and method of tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO). Participants will perform TPLOs on plastic bones and cadavers using state-of-the-art equipment and implants. Participants will use locking plate technology to simplify, increase precision, and reduce complications of the procedure. Participants should have a basic knowledge of the surgical anatomy and approach to the stifle. Postoperative radiographs will be taken to assess the participant’s repair technique. Postoperative management will also be discussed.
