2 Day Practical Course

“Extremely enjoyable and very worthwhile CPD, learnt a lot during the two days. Strongly recommend this course”
Deciding on the best form of treatment and the surgical repair of the resulting injuries can be challenging in pelvic trauma.
In many cases you may have to deal with the patient yourself where referral to a more experienced surgeon is not an option on financial grounds. This course is specifically designed to help you to become more proficient in decision-making and in the surgical treatment of some of the most commonly seen injuries of this region.

What you’ll learn:
How to assess your patient and prioritise treatment
The assessment of patients with pelvic fractures is challenging, as often they will be recumbent and it is difficult to appreciate if they are simply reluctant to ambulate or unable to do so. Of primary importance is the neurological assessment.
Sacroiliac luxations – your best treatment options
Although the sacroiliac joint normally has a very limited range of motion, it forms part of the weight bearing axis of the limb, thus any disruption is likely to result in significant morbidity to the animal..
Hip luxations – decrease the chance of reluxation
Reported success with closed management of hip luxations is highly variable, with reluxation rates ranging from 15 to 70%. Get better outcomes with the highly practical tips you'll get on this course.
Ilial shaft fractures – Surgical Repair Options
Iliac fractures are commonly seen following pelvic trauma, frequently in conjunction with pelvic floor and ischial fractures and contralateral sacroiliac luxations. Practise your surgical approach and fixation options in this small group hands-on course
Coping with Acetabular Fractures
While less commonly encountered than iliac fractures or sacroiliac injuries, acetabular fractures often provide a greater challenge in both their assessment and management. Get practical options for your patients from our highly experienced and approachable tutors.
