Sarah Malek, DVM, PhD, DACVS-SA (West Lafayette, IN), demonstrates the QuickFix Cannulated Screw System on a canine cadaveric elbow.
Katrina Backus, DVM (Fairbanks, AK), shares an alternative path to surgical growth for veterinary students in this recorded webinar. Drawing on hands-on skill development, clinical case experience, and mentorship, she explores how real-world cases build surgical judgment and technique. She...
Surgical release of the biceps ulnaris tendon to alleviate chronic medial elbow pain caused by tendon impingement or fibrosis. Typically indicated in cases of medial compartment disease where soft tissue restriction limits range of motion and conservative management fails.
This section addresses injuries to ligaments, tendons, and joint structures that often accompany musculoskeletal trauma. Topics include management of conditions such as joint luxations, tendon ruptures, and ligament injuries, as well as techniques for repair and stabilization. Learn surgical approaches,...
Develop a strong foundation in small‑animal arthroscopy through clear demonstrations of portal placement, joint assessment, equipment setup, and NanoScope techniques. This learning path guides learners from introductory concepts to practical, joint‑specific skills essential for diagnostic and surgical arthroscopy.
Julia Crosby, CVT (Fort Collins, CO), demonstrates how to set up an instrument table for arthroscopy and TPLO surgery.
Laurie Goodrich, DVM, PhD, DACVS (Fort Collins, CO), presents an overview of equine fetlock anatomy and the arthroscopic joint exploration process.
Jonathan Suber, DVM, DACVS-SA (Columbia, SC), demonstrates the surgical approach to the lateral aspect of the canine elbow for repair of lateral condylar fractures.
Degenerative changes in the stifle joint, often secondary to cruciate rupture or luxation. Management includes pain control, mobility preservation, and surgical options for advanced cases.
The Vet Student Resource page is designed to support veterinary students exploring orthopedic surgery, clinical skills, and hands-on learning. Access curated educational content, surgical videos, and foundational training resources to build confidence in veterinary orthopedics.
Jonathan Suber, DVM, DACVS-SA (Columbia, SC), reviews current repair options for lateral condylar fractures, including cortical transcondylar screw and K-wire fixation, QuickFix transcondylar screw and K-wire fixation, and lateral plating, in a canine cadaver.
W. Michael Karlin, DVM, DACVS-SA, DACVS-LA (North Grafton, MA), describes the different forces that affect bone fractures.
Laurie Goodrich, DVM, DACVS (Fort Collins, CO), demonstrates the arthroscopic technique for exploring the equine coffin joint in a cadaveric specimen.
Antonio Pozzi, DVM, DACVS-SA (Zurich, Switzerland), demonstrates how to apply the InternalBrace™ repair option with the Arthrex tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) plate. Using a PEEK SwiveLock® anchor and FiberTape® suture material, the surgeon can reduce any internal rotation that...
A developmental cartilage disorder leading to flap formation and joint inflammation in the canine shoulder. Common in large-breed dogs, it affects the caudal humeral head and often requires arthroscopic removal for pain relief and improved function.
The most common cause of hindlimb lameness in dogs, resulting from ligament degeneration or trauma. Surgical stabilization techniques aim to restore stifle function and prevent the development of secondary osteoarthritis.
Sean Murphy, DVM, DACVS-SA (Boise, ID), demonstrates the application of the OrthoLine™ acetabular plate for acetabular fracture repair.
