VetPrac | Surgical Management of Patella Luxation
October 3 @ 7:30 am - October 4 @ 4:30 pm AEST
If you’re a qualified vet and would like to be able to offer and confidently perform medial patellar luxation (MPL) surgery, this hands-on weekend workshop is the place to get going. Complete beginners are welcome, as are those already performing basic fracture repairs and those who’d like to refine their MPL technique. The VetPrac way is – as always – practical at heart. We provide a supportive and capable atmosphere with access to highly experienced, approachable surgeons invested in helping you progress. Observe, ask questions, and personally practice your skills with extensive time on the tools. Ultimately, that’s what counts when you take your approach back to apply in your clinic.
AVA members can also apply the discount code (below) to enjoy a 10% discount (first 8 redemptions, only).
