TPLO Surgery Parts 1-5: Lecture Series 5 Lectures
Key information
TPLO Surgery Part 1: Aetiopathogenesis, Clinical Examination, and X-Ray
Presenter: Filippo Maria Martini, DVM, PhD
This lecture focuses on the biomechanics of the cruciate ligament deficient stifle and tibial plateau levelling osteotomy. The lecture includes a discussion regarding clinical presentation, stifle palpation, instability tests and stifle radiography.
TPLO Surgery Part 2: Biomechanics, Patient Selection, and Planning
Presenter: Duncan Midgley, BVMS, CERTSAO, MRCVS
This lecture includes a discussion on the biomechanics of the TPLO technique. Attendees will learn about pre-operative radiographs, planning, and implant selection. Attendees will also gain an understanding of patient assessment and the selection of candidates for TPLO.
TPLO Surgery Part 3: Instrumentation , Surgical Technique, and Dry Lab
Presenter: Filippo Maria Martini, DVM, PhD
This course is designed for the veterinarian who wishes to learn/refine the tibial plateau-leveling osteotomy technique and to understand the major advantages of PAX Polyaxial Locking TPLO Plate System. The TPLO technique will be taught in a step-by-step fashion. This lecture will discuss surgical instrumentation, surgical approach, jig placement, performing the tibial osteotomy, and plate and screw osteosynthesis. After attending this lecture, attendees will be prepared to practice the technique on cadavers during the recommended hands-on workshop.
TPLO Surgery Part 4: Bone Model Demonstration and Complex Cases
Presenter: Filippo Maria Martini, DVM, PhD
This lecture discusses the modified TPLO approaches for specific patient conditions, such as tibial torsion, tibial varus, tibial valgus, and medial patellar luxation. The lecture includes a review of complex TPLO case studies.
TPLO Surgery Part 5: PAX Locking System, Peri/Post Operative Management and Complications
Presenter: Duncan Midgley, BVMS, CERTSAO, MRCVS
This lecture showcases the PAX locking system and focuses on post-operative management of patients after TPLO surgery and complications. Attendees will learn how to identify, avoid, and manage potential complications.
