Event Details
AO VET NA Masters Course— Small Animal Minimally Invasive Osteosynthesis Traumatology (with animal anatomic specimens)
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Minimally Invasive Osteosynthesis (MIO) has successfully improved human orthopedic outcomes for more than two decades. Yet, despite evidence of faster bone healing, lower morbidity, faster functional recovery, and fewer complications; MIO has not been fully embraced by the veterinary orthopedic community at large.
This 3-day AO VET NA Masters-level course is meant to help change this. It fills the current void in continuing education courses and allows veterinary orthopedic surgeons to learn the biological basis of MIO, its surgical techniques, new implants, advanced imaging and radioprotection techniques from the absolute top experts in this field today. Such exposure will undoubtedly lead to both improved management of fractures in companion animals and improved outcomes.
If you care about providing the best outcomes for your small animals, you should register for this course and begin applying MIO in your clinical practice.
In preparation for this course, it is required you review the available online pre-course materials in order to help you better prepare for this educational event. You will have access to this material through the AO NA Learning Management System (LMS). Instructions will be sent to all registered course participants on how to access the learning materials closer to the time of the course by AO NA staff.
Target Audience
This course is open to surgery residents and practicing veterinarians with orthopedic experience. Familiarity with locking implant instrumentation and techniques will be assumed.

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)
- Define MIO principles
- Describe and integrate new reduction and fixation techniques used to reduce one’s surgical footprint
- Differentiate indirect from direct fragment manipulation and assess their effect on the soft tissue envelope
- Associate the biological benefits of remote percutaneous plate osteosysthesis and the need to provide adequate mechanical stability at the fracture site
- Recognize MIO challenges and limitations and realize when a shift to open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and open but do not touch (OBDNT) technique is required
- Assess the impact of new technologies (implants and advanced imaging) in successfully performing MIO
- Evaluate the risk / benefit of intraoperative fluoroscopy during MIO
- Implement effective protective measures to decrease radiation exposure to the surgical team (ALARA -As Low As Reasonably Achievable )
- Recognize the importance of monitoring radiation exposure
