Introduction:

In this highly practical two day course where you will advance your knowledge and clinical
skills in the surgical stabilisation of common fractures of the fore and hindlimb. In step-
by-step guided hands-on sessions you will gain confidence in complicated fracture repair
using plating, pinning and screws. Fracture repair sessions include pre and post-operative
radiography. Arthrodesis and bone grafting will also be performed.

By the end of this course delegates should have an understanding of:

• Biomechanics of fracture healing

• Patient assessment and fracture repair planning

• Indications for internal (pins, plates and screws) versus external fixation (linear frames)

• How to fix common fractures of the forelimbs
(humerus, radius/ulna, metacarpus)
by internal and external fixation.

Delegates will perform carpal arthrodesis, bone
grafting, pinning, plating and screwing of fractures.
