AO VET NA Blended Course—Surgical Approaches and Soft Tissue Reconstruction Techniques for Fractures Repair in the Dog (with canine anatomical specimens)
Columbus, Ohio, USA
The focus of this two-day course, which utilizes canine anatomic specimens, will be learning the approaches to the four main long bones and pelvis of the dog for fracture management. Precourse modules, available in the AO NA Learning Management System, will be used to refresh anatomic knowledge. Lectures will present principles of preparing an orthopaedic patient, hemostasis and tissue handling, fracture reduction, suture selection and closure techniques. Multiple cadaver exercises will be performed to practice the approaches and closures.
The 'blended' course format includes REQUIRED online coursework and learning materials provided prior to the face-to-face event which are Mandatory for attendance at the course.

Expected results of AONA's CME activities for surgeons, fellows, and residents are to:
• Increase their knowledge base and surgical skill level
• Improve competence by applying advances of knowledge in patient care in the areas of trauma, degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstructive surgical techniques
• Address practice performance gaps by improving management of aspects of traumatic injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., pre-operative planning to post-operative care)
- Comprehend the role of soft tissue dissection and tissue handling in the prevention of complications
- Discuss approach options that can be used to expose long bones and the pelvis for the purpose of fracture repair
- Perform standard approaches to the diaphysis of the humerus, radius, femur, ilium and acetabulum in dogs
- Use proper reconstruction techniques in the closure of the surgical approach to the long bones and pelvis.
- Minimize soft tissue damage when performing orthopedic surgery
- Select adequate sutures for the purpose of wound closure, including size, type and needle characteristics
