As a result of this, we are able to offer high-level training courses globally on a variety of subjects. Held all across the UK, we run a minimum of two workshops a month.

These courses range from TTA for canine cruciate disease, RidgeStopTM_{for Patella Luxation, our new} introduction to orthopaedics to the 3 day spinal surgery. Our courses which are either a half or full day are a balance of theory and practical and are open to all veterinary surgeons and general practitioners regardless of level or experience. Our courses even allow you to take home the sawbones you’ve been practising on free of charge as well as any implants used on them.

We take our education very seriously and once the course finishes, the support we offer doesn’t. Our sales and technical team are available to answer questions and offer advice whenever needed.

Course Content

The Modified Maquet Procedure (MMP) is an evolution of the TTA procedure for treatment of lameness due to cranial cruciate failure.

The course is in two parts: a lecture based introduction followed by a practical session using synthetic bone models of the stifle, animations and video support material will also be used. The development of the technique, implants and associated instrumentation will be described and a detailed review of surgical technique and clinical outcomes will cover all aspects of MMP.

Course Content

This simple, affordable alternative to sulcoplasty surgery that can be used alone, as the sole treatment for patella luxation, or as an adjunct to re-alignment operations. The course is in two parts: a lecture based overview of the pathogenesis and treatment selection in patella luxation and a review of current surgical treatment options. This will be followed by an introduction to RidgeStop™, its application and case presentations, before a practical session where delegates will learn to use the RidgeStop™ instrumentation and implants on a synthetic bone model.

Course Content

This course covers a variety of topics surrounding fracture repairs for internal and external fixation systems. Covering topics such as screws, plates, fracture diagnosis, and repair as well as bone healing, this varied course offers a perfect introduction into veterinary orthopaedics.

This introductory 1 day workshop is ideal for surgeons with little or no experience in using plates and screws and combines a morning of theory and an afternoon of practical, applying the methods learned in the morning to a variety of bone models. By the end of the day, you will have a clear understanding of the principles and practicalities of internal and external fixation for fracture management and what equipment you will need to introduce orthopaedic surgery to your practise.

Course Content

This three day conference will focus on advanced neurosurgical procedures of the cervical and thoracolumbar spine. It will consist of lectures including instrumentation, anaesthetic protocols, triage and step-by-step tricks and tips of six most common spinal procedures – T-L laminectomy, cervical slot decompression, spinal fracture stabilisation, atlantoaxial stabilisation, L7 – S1 decompression and stabilisation. Attendees will choose and perform three laboratories from five offered. Fresh cadavers will be available for all laboratories. The SOP™ locking plate system will be used for stabilisations. The attendees should already have basic knowledge of these surgical conditions, and basic surgical proficiency.
