Advanced Techniques in Veterinary Spinal Surgery:
Polyaxial Screw Fixation and 3D-Printed Surgical Guides
This intensive three-day, in-person course is designed for board-certified veterinary surgeons, neurologists, and senior residents seeking to enhance their proficiency in spinal stabilization techniques using polyaxial screw and rod systems. The program provides an advanced, evidence-based approach to spinal surgery, emphasizing surgical planning, accurate screw placement, and the integration of 3D-printed, patient-specific surgical guides into clinical practice.
Participants will benefit from a balanced combination of expert-led lectures, interactive case discussions, and hands-on cadaveric laboratories. The course will explore the latest developments in veterinary spinal biomechanics, species-specific anatomy, and the use of CT-based modeling to optimize outcomes and minimize complications.
