Through a combination of lectures, computer-based planning exercises, dry-lab training, instructor demonstrations, and canine specimen practice, participants will develop a systematic approach to TPLO decision making, surgical technique, and complication avoidance.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEach participant will complete TPLO planning and operative training on a plastic bone model and on both the right and left stifles of canine specimens, providing extensive supervised hands-on experience. The course is intended to serve as a launching point for continued skill development through additional specimen practice, mentorship, and peer collaboration. Participants should not expect to independently begin performing TPLO procedures clinically immediately following the course. Rather, they will leave with the knowledge, framework, and resources needed to continue progressing safely and effectively toward clinical implementation under appropriate guidance and mentorship.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eParticipant Prerequisites\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eParticipants should possess a basic understanding of fracture fixation and bone plating principles prior to attending this course.
