COURSE INTRODUCTION:
A progressive Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) course for the treatment of canine cruciate ligament disease
A hands-on focused workshop which is designed to give you practical skills to confidently and successfully perform this procedure with successful outcomes for your patient.
Canine cruciate ligament disease is the most common cause of lameness and this newly revamped course will teach you to have the confidence, ability and trust in this TTA procedure to help treat this disease.
The MMP implant used in this surgery is a unique load bearing, bio-compatible, pure titanium wedge that facilitates rapid bone ingrowth to improve long-term outcomes for the patient.
This revised TTA course will teach you how and when to perform this surgery and with the confidence and assurance of knowing our team are forever by your side.
Workshop Objectives:
- To help you effectively resolve CCLD lameness using MMP for TTA
- Learn TTA fundamentals, critical case selection, manage complications and gain repeatable and successful clinical outcomes
- To make MMP TTA achievable by you in your own practices without the need for referral
How will I feel after this Workshop?
- Confident to perform the surgery and aware of the ongoing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative support from the company and the instructor
- Provided with the essential knowledge and practical experience needed to excel in this crucial orthopaedic procedure
- Confident in widening your offering to your patients in your practices
Why learning TTA featuring MMP would be suitable for your practice:
MMP can be considered a starting avenue for expanding your repertoire into canine cruciate ligament surgery. When a vast majority of CCLD are not being seen for referral, the best option for cruciate surgery needs to be available on offer to the patient. The MMP was developed many years ago with this is mind. A procedure that follows a step-by-step guide, is easily accessibly, is easier to do than TPLO yet also has a similar outcome! This is where TTA featuring MMP has a place in practice.
