Join us for an intensive hands-on course focused on the surgical management of canine hip dysplasia using the innovative 3D HIP system.
Designed for veterinary surgeons looking to expand their orthopedic expertise, this course combines clinical decision-making, surgical planning, and practical training with patient-specific 3D-printed titanium implants.
During this comprehensive workshop, participants will learn:
- The principles and clinical application of shelf arthroplasty for the treatment of canine hip dysplasia
- How to identify appropriate candidates for acetabular rim extension in young dogs with hip laxity
- Surgical anatomy, operative technique, and implant placement using patient-specific 3D-printed titanium implants
- Imaging requirements and the complete 3D HIP workflow, from patient selection and preoperative CT planning to implant manufacturing and surgery
Through expert-led lectures, case discussions, and hands-on training, participants will gain the knowledge and confidence needed to incorporate 3D HIP into their clinical practice.
This course offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from leading experts in veterinary orthopedics and explore a minimally invasive alternative to traditional pelvic osteotomy procedures for the treatment of canine hip dysplasia.
Prior attendance at a 3D HIP Course is mandatory before applying this technique in clinical practice.
