It is with regret that the Royal Veterinary College has made the decision to postpone this course. Being mindful of current UK Government public health advice about the risk of COVID-19 being spread through close contact, we feel that this is the correct decision at the present time.

We are planning to deliver this course in 2021, so if you are interested in booking please email cpd@rvc.ac.uk and we will contact you when a new date is confirmed

Stifle problems such as cruciate rupture and patellar luxation are seen daily in veterinary practice, but can seem daunting to treat.

This very practical course is aimed as an introduction/refresher for the general practitioner wishing to improve their technique for stifle surgery. It is ideal for the beginner orthopaedic surgeon. The theory relating to diagnosis, planning surgery and dealing with complications will be covered in the morning, and the afternoon session will be spent practicing surgical techniques on cadavers, with close supervision by experienced tutors. Advanced techniques such as TPLO and TTA surgery will not be taught.

Why do this course?
This highly practical course will give you the opportunity for cadaveric surgery with tuition from highly experienced orthopaedic surgeons in a small group environment.
