CE Credits: 8
Special Offer: Register for both the 3D HIP Workshop on October 6, 2026 and the Spinal Workshop on October 7, 2026 and receive $100 off.
Course Overview:
This course is designed for veterinarians seeking to elevate their expertise in diagnosing and surgically treating complex spinal conditions in dogs and even cats. Through a carefully curated mix of lectures, interactive sessions, and hands-on labs, this course offers a deep dive into the anatomy, pathology, imaging, and stabilization techniques of the cervical and lumbosacral spine.
The curriculum addresses thoracolumbar and lumbosacral conditions, including both canine and feline cases. The morning covers spinal diseases, imaging interpretation, and surgical indications for stabilization, particularly in Degenerative Lumbosacral Stenosis (DLSS) and spinal fractures.
Participants are introduced to advanced spinal implant technologies, including the innovative LeiPED Pedicle Screw System and the LeiCAGE Intervertebral Titanium Cages. The session covers technical details, surgical indications, and dedicated instrumentation for both systems. Together, LeiPED and LeiCAGE are designed to ensure reliable spinal fixation, restore disc height, support fusion, and provide immediate biomechanical stability with long-term osseointegration. In the afternoon, attendees will engage in a dry lab, practicing the use of the RL system on spinal models to gain tactile familiarity and technical precision.
Who Should Attend? This course is ideal for veterinarians with a solid foundation in orthopedic surgery who wish to advance into spinal procedures, whether you’re just starting to offer these procedures or looking to enhance your technique with state-of-the-art implant solutions
