  • Hip Luxation

    Dislocation of the femoral head from the acetabulum, often caused by trauma or severe hip dysplasia. Surgical reduction and stabilization are required to restore joint function and prevent chronic instability.

    • Path

  • Stifle Collateral Ligament Injuries

    MCL/LCL injury producing frontal plane laxity and altered stifle kinematics. Surgical repair or reconstruction with postoperative rehab aims to re-establish stability.

    • Path

  • Meniscal Injuries

    Damage to the meniscus often accompanies cruciate ligament injuries, causing pain and joint instability. Arthroscopic evaluation and partial meniscectomy are common treatments.

    • Path

  • Pelvic Osteoarthritis (OA)

    Degenerative changes in the hip joint leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Management ranges from medical therapy to surgical interventions such as total hip replacement for advanced disease.

    • Path

  • Shoulder Osteoarthritis (OA)

    Progressive cartilage loss and joint remodeling in the shoulder, often secondary to instability or prior injury. Management focuses on pain control, mobility preservation, and surgical options for advanced disease.

    • Path

  • Caudal Cruciate Ligament Ruptures

    Less frequent than cranial rupture, this injury compromises stifle stability and often occurs with other ligament or meniscal damage. Repair focuses on restoring joint alignment and function to improve overall mobility.

    • Path

  • Distal Humeral Fractures

    Breaks in the distal humerus affecting the elbow articulation, often due to trauma. Surgical repair is crucial for restoring normal biomechanics and preventing the progression of arthritis.

  • Arthroscopy Tower Setup

    Sarah Malek, DVM, PhD, DACVS-SA (West Lafayette, IN), demonstrates the process for setting up an arthroscopy tower.

    • Duration 4m

  • Overview of the SynACART® System

    Jonathan Suber, DVM, DACVS-SA (Columbia, SC), reviews the equipment required for implantation of a SynACART® implant for cartilage resurfacing.

    • Duration 1m

  • Fracture Assessment Score

    W. Michael Karlin, DVM, DACVS-SA, DACVS-LA (North Grafton, MA), reviews the multiple factors that must be considered when assessing a patient with a fracture, and explains how to integrate them to develop the fracture assessment score.

    • Duration 15m

  • Stifle Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD)

    A developmental cartilage disorder affecting the femoral condyle, leading to flap formation and joint inflammation. Arthroscopic removal of the lesion is the standard treatment for restoring mobility.

  • Arthroscopy 101 Fundamentals

    Sarah Malek, DVM, PhD, DACVS-SA (West Lafayette, IN), provides an overview of the fundamentals of arthroscopy, including the differences in scope sizes, the field of view, and the basis of triangulation techniques.

    • Duration 16m

  • Joint Exploration of a Large Dog Using the NanoScope™ System

    Antonio Pozzi, DVM, DACVS-SA (Zurich, Switzerland), demonstrates NanoNeedle™ arthroscopy in a large canine stifle. Dr. Pozzi guides viewers through stifle joint evaluation of all important structures and provides tips for visualization of the lateral and medial menisci.

    • Duration 9m
