Day one brings together the opportunity to manage the most commonly seen surgical conditions of the stifle joint covering TTA for cranial cruciate ligament deficiency, meniscus exam and TTT and RidgeStop™ for patellar luxation.

Day 2: Internal and External fracture fixation techniques wet-lab
Day two teaches the use of both bone plates using SOP™ as well as external skeletal fixation (ESF) using KEFS® for the opportunity to repair a wide variety of commonly seen fractures.

DATE: Saturday + Sunday 18-19 January 2025

Are you attending ANZCVS Vet Science Week this week?
Be sure to stop by Stand 2 and say hello to Sebastian and Victor who is joining us from Novetech. Learn about latest advances in soft tissue orthopaedics and view our synthetic ligament and tendons and the new interlocking nail system. Plus much more!

Only a handful of places remain for our orthopaedic surgical wet labs in Melbourne this July!
🟠
Day one, surgical management of ligament and tendon injuries.
Day two, long-bone osteosynthesis using interlocking nails
🔗 https://www.fourlimb.com.au/workshops/
🟠
Learn the principles of surgical management of ligament and tendon injuries using UHMWPE synthetic implants. Learn how these basic principles can be applied to restore function to almost any strain or sprain injury with case reports and publications. Discover the opportunity for arthroscopic treatment of CCL deficiency and the surgical management of multi-ligament stifle trauma. Practise surgical repair techniques including common calcaneal tendon rupture and coxofemoral luxation
🟠
Learn the principles of Interlocking Nail (ILN) osteosynthesis. With both biological and mechanical advantages over plates ILNs are the gold standard for long bone osteosynthesis in humans. Intramedullary insertion lends itself to minimally invasive approaches, with preservation of soft tissues and vascularisation of the periosteum. Their alignment with the anatomical axis of the bone provides mechanical strength in compression, flexion and torsion.

Speaker Dr Thibaut Cachon DVM, Dipl ECVS, MSc, PhD
Specialist surgeon Thibaut works as part of the referral surgery team, and also carrys out research and lectures in the small animal surgical department of the veterinary school of Lyon, France

🔶 Don't miss Novetech's FREE online webinar on 14 May featuring stifle ligament surgery with synthetic ligament 🔶

Reconstruction of the cranial cruciate ligament is the subject of numerous continuous developments, and research has recently had a burst of interest in intra-articular reconstruction using synthetic implants in dogs.

3 experts on the topics will present their clinical experience on the use of synthetic prostheses in different surgical applications. (Cruciate ligament reconstruction, multi-ligament injuries, open surgery and arthroscopy approach):

🔹 Dr. Martin Buchan : Orthopaedic consultant specialised in knee arthroplasty and trauma at Inverclyde Royal Hospital, UK.

🔹 Dr. Philippe Buttin : Specialist Veterinary surgeon with a high interest in ligament and tendon repair, working as mobile surgeon in the French Alps

🔹 Dr. Sven Ödman : Veterinary surgeon specialised in orthopaedics, with extensive experience in the treatment of cruciate ligaments in animals, including minimally invasive repair techniques.

Looking for a drape that provides complete long-lasting asepsis?

The Dermadine Plus incise drape maintains a sterile field and is a benefit for all types of surgical procedures.

And its other benefits?

✅ Ultra thin and stretchable conforming to anatomic structures and joints
✅ No adhesive residues after detachment
✅ Allows easy surgical incision
✅ Anti glare properties provide optimal visibility
✅ Excellent resistance to tearing
✅ Breathable film guarantees complete impermeability to fluids and microorganisms and prevents condensation which could potentially reduce adhesiveness during long cases
✅ Adhesive contains iodine which is released on application to the skin
✅ The strong, broad spectrum antimicrobial acts soon after application and the continued slow release activity maintains efficacy for over 24hrs

👉🏻 A reminder that we're talking TTA this week! 👈🏻
Join an open discussion on TTA for Cranial Cruciate Deficiency looking at the role of TTA surgery in first opinion practice and its place alongside TPLO.
The session will specifically look at Orthomed’s TTA procedure MMP, which utilises a pure titanium OrthoFoam wedge.
The porous OrthoFoam wedge has been specifically developed to support bone ingrowth, not merely adherence. Backed by numerous studies, the optimisation of OrthoFoam’s biologic and mechanical properties, including pore size and implant elasticity, has been shown to support permanent viable bone ingrowth. The wedge defines the advancement, fills the bone void, and stabilises the advanced tibial tuberosity.
The talk will include a review of real cases and discussion on how to overcome any challenges performing the surgery.
This live event inviting open interactions is timed to suit surgeons in the US and UK, but if you're unable to attend overnight, registering for the event will give you access to watch it later.

Where: Online with Zoom
When: 4:00pm UK Time, Thursday 14 March 2024
Who: Veterinary surgeons with an interest in orthopaedics
Cost: Free to attend
