This course will cover orthopedic and other clinical conditions seen in small animals with an emphasis on surgical treatment and prognosis. It will integrate and build upon the principles of surgery and surgical diseases covered in CVM 737 applying and expanding anatomical knowledge acquired and go beyond the genetic and developmental aspects of small animal orthopedic and other clinical conditions to address surgical interventions to consider when conservative and medical therapies alone are not appropriate or not producing satisfactory results. Case-based learning will be utilized throughout the course to improve students’ ability to apply the information to real-world practical clinical situations.
