The TPLO The Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPE) training course is a specialized and intensive continuing education program specifically designed for veterinary professionals. The course is conducted with a strong focus on high-quality, scientifically sound instruction. The following are the key areas covered in the seminar:

  1. Preoperative planningParticipants will be introduced to the essential techniques of preoperative imaging and surgical planning. This includes the interpretation of X-ray images and the selection of appropriate implants.
  2. Theoretical foundations: A deep insight is provided into the principles of TPLO, including the background and indications for the use of this method to treat cruciate ligament injuries in dogs.
  3. Practical exercises on the cadaverIn a controlled environment, participants are given the opportunity to independently plan and perform TPLO on cadavers. They are instructed on the correct handling of specific instruments and the application of plate systems.
  4. Postoperative evaluationA critical and detailed review of the performed TPLO procedure is conducted. Intra- and postoperative evaluation allows for a comprehensive analysis of one's own work and contributes to the improvement of surgical skills.
  5. Demonstrations and exercisesThe training includes live demonstrations of TPLO on a cadaver, as well as exercises in which participants perform the TPLO independently. This provides hands-on experience and promotes understanding of the entire process.
  6. Discussion and conclusionThe training concludes with an in-depth discussion and a postoperative evaluation. Questions are addressed and experiences are shared to deepen the acquired knowledge and clarify any potential uncertainties.

The TPLO training thus offers a holistic, meticulous, and scientifically oriented approach to the techniques and methods of TPLO. By linking theory and practice, the seminar creates a solid foundation for the effective application of this complex surgical technique in everyday clinical practice.
