AO VET NA Course—Operative Treatment of Veterinary Craniomaxillofacial Trauma and Reconstruction (with animal anatomical specimens)

August 31, 2021 - September 2, 2021 Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

This course addresses current and newer techniques / innovative concepts of maxillofacial trauma and fracture repair – utilizing techniques that respect the local anatomy (dentition and related structures) as well as maintaining orthopedic first principles of fracture repair. The goal of this course is to provide enhanced background training on dental structures, their physiology and their role in aiding or impeding fracture fixation. Similarly, the advantages / disadvantages of various orthopedic repair techniques and their effects on fracture healing are covered. The indications and methods of each of these differing approaches are complimentary and not mutually exclusive, where selection and successful execution are intertwined. The basis of technique selection plays an important role in minimizing complications and future morbidity, emphasizing the long-term implications to the dental structures and bone associated with injury and / or fixation. Reconstruction techniques in instances of severe trauma (highly comminuted fractures and / or gaps) and oncologic reconstruction also will be addressed. The long-term goals of the course are to provide the attendees with a knowledge-base to critically evaluate different fixation techniques and build confidence and experience with the various methods of fixation. Advanced fixation techniques will also be taught.

Prerequisites for Attendance: This course is intended primarily for ACVS or AVDC Diplomates, residency program participants, and general practitioners with an advanced interest and expertise in maxillofacial trauma and fracture repair.

Previous participation in an AO VET Small Animal Basic Principles course is highly recommended; Previous participation in an AO VET Small Animal Advanced Techniques in Fracture Management course also would be beneficial

Target Audience: Enrollment is open to veterinary specialists, residents and practicing veterinarians with a specific interest in maxillofacial trauma and fracture repair

Designation Statement This program was reviewed and approved by the AAVSB RACE program for ____ hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions which recognize AAVSB RACE approval. Please contact the AAVSB RACE program if you have any comments/concerns regarding this program’s validity or relevancy to the veterinary profession.

The Continuing Medical Education (CME) mission of AO North America (AONA®) is to provide comprehensive multidisciplinary needs based education to surgeons, fellows, and residents in the specialties of orthopedic, hand, craniomaxillofacial, spine, neurosurgery, and veterinary surgery in the areas of trauma (i.e.), operative reduction and fixation), degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstruction. Expected results of AONA's CME activities for surgeons, fellows, and residents are to: • Increase their knowledge base and surgical skill level • Improve competence by applying advances of knowledge in patient care in the areas of trauma, degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstructive surgical techniques • Address practice performance gaps by improving management of aspects of traumatic injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., pre-operative planning to post- operative care)

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

Integrate advances in the art and science of fracture repair into veterinary practice, particularly as it pertains to craniomaxillofacial trauma and reconstruction in small animals Discuss complications associated with maxillofacial trauma and repair, and the implications for small animals, particularly canines Explain indications for internal fixation and the selection of criteria for implant hardware Apply new techniques and innovative concepts in maxillofacial fracture fixation to complicated cases in small animal surgical practice Discuss the mechanisms of maxillofacial growth and development and the possible consequences of various fixation techniques Explain the benefits and limitations of conservative fracture management using techniques relying on bonding teeth and restoring occlusion Identify potential applications for regenerative surgery and describe challenges associated with treatment of critical size defects
