WEBINAR CONTENT
Ultrasonography has become a crucially important diagnostic imaging modality in Equine Orthopedics and most Equine Practitioners nowadays have access to the necessary equipment. A growing number of equine orthopedic specialists have furthermore extended the use of ultrasonography creatively to assist with injection techniques and to facilitate minimally invasive surgery. This webinar series has been developed to provide equine and mixed animal practitioners who have experience with ultrasonography, with the theoretical knowledge of performing ultrasound-guided orthopedic injections and ultrasound-assisted surgical techniques, covering all regions of the musculoskeletal apparatus of the horse. A review of conventional and biologic treatment modalities for orthopedic conditions will round the webinar series up.
The following topics will be covered in highly illustrated lectures and case presentations:
Open and frank discussions are encouraged during the course and the speakers will share their personal experiences with attendees, be it successes or failures.
The matching wetlabs listed below, will be held at Tennessee Equine Hospital, near Nashville, TN on 21-22 August 2020. Please get in touch with us if you would also like to take part in the wetlabs.
The 7 hours of practical sessions will give attendees plenty of opportunity to train the different injection techniques on whole horses and specimens and to get tips and tricks in small groups (2 – 4 attendees per ultrasound machine), under the supervision of the specialists. Each attendee will rotate through the following practical stations:
