CBLO CE Course; August 11th

The Cora Based Leveling Osteotomy (CBLO) is a new approach and technique to treat the cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs. The CBLO is a corrective osteotomy technique that, similar to TPLO, changes the position of the Tibial Plateau. However, the CBLO technique aims to address challenges like secondary (late) meniscal injuries, stress on the caudal cruciate ligament, reduction of axis shift and secondary translation, as well as mismatch of articulating surfaces.

The Rita Leibinger Medical LeiLOX CBLO system incorporates anatomically shaped implants made of Titanium for best biocompatibility.

During the course, the theoretical knowledge of cranial cruciate ligament ruptures and the indications for a CBLO will be presented. Afterwards, there will be time for the hands-on practical part to practice the technique.
