Programme
How to use Bone Plates and Screws
- The principles and application of dynamic compression plates
- How to use a DCP plate as either a compression plate, neutralisation plate or bridging plate
- The difference between cortical and cancellous and locking bone screws
- The difference between plate screws, lag screws, positional and locking screws
- When and how to lag screw
- Locking plates – advantages and indications
- The importance of pre-operative temporary fracture support
- How to position and drape animals for fracture repair to simplify surgery
- Comminuted fractures – what to do with all the ‘bits’
- When and when not to bone graft
- Reinforcing bone plates
- Plate-rod and orthogonal plate constructs
External Skeletal Fixation
- The importance of the pin-bone interface
- Why threaded pins will double the life expectancy of your ESF
- Why pre-drilling before you place the ESF pin buys you time
- How updating your ESF kit will make your life easier
- The principles and application of linear ESFs
- Applying ESFs to antebrachial and tibial fractures
- How to position and drape animals for fracture repair to simplify surgery
- The use of hybrid ESFs in very distal juxtarticular fractures
- Why carbon fibre and titanium are not just for bicycles
- When to destabilise an ESF and which bits to remove
Effective Use of Pins and Orthopaedic Wire
- Case examples to review common errors in the use of pins and wires and highlight the decision-making and principles of application of intramedullary pins, cerclage wire, K wires and tension band wires that are necessary for consistent success
- The fracture decision-making table and how to use it to know when friction fixation is a good idea and when it isn’t!
- Why IM pins are good at resisting three biomechanical forces; bending, bending and bending!
- Why placing twist cerclage wire effectively in dogs is technically very challenging
- Why double loop cerclage is stronger, easier and more reliable than twist cerclage
- Why the tibia is a challenge for cerclage wire
- How to simplify fracture reduction when repairing distal femoral physeal fractures with crossed K wires
- How to simplify placing K wires in tibial crest osteotomies
