Veterinarians must continue their training to adapt to new developments in this field"

This specialization is the best option you can find to specialize in Common Fractures in Cats and Dogs"

The teaching team of this postgraduate diploma in Common Fractures in Cats and Dogs has made a careful selection of the different state-of-the-art techniques for experienced professionals working in the veterinary field. Specifically, the training focuses on pelvic and pelvic and thoracic limb fractures. 

Pelvic fractures account for 20-30% of all fractures in small animals, which is a high incidence in the clinical situation of trauma and orthopedic services in veterinary hospitals and clinics.  

These fractures are characterized by commonly affecting more than one of the bones of the pelvis or associated adjoining structures, a situation that requires the clinician to have a detailed knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvis, in order to achieve an optimal therapeutic outcome in each patient. 

It is of vital importance to know the pathophysiological alterations that can be found in a patient with a pelvic fracture, since most of these presentations are associated with high-energy trauma, such as traffic accidents or falls from high heights.  

In turn, 20% of the fractures that occur in the daily clinical practice of dogs and cats occur in the femur. This bone is surrounded by a large amount of muscle mass, therefore, it is a bone that is difficult to fixate, but has a good response to bone repair after a fracture, as long as the fixation method fulfills its objective.  

In the femur, given the large number of fractures of different types that can occur, we will talk about very precise osteosynthesis, precise rigid destabilizations, in which the basic principles of osteosynthesis and each of the systems must be followed consistently to achieve success with different fixation systems. 

Finally, distal humerus fractures are the most complicated fractures, since there is a large area of articular surface in a minimal portion of bone, so a fracture of the distal portion of the humerus must be treated accurately, effectively and stably. This postgraduate diploma analyzes the importance of the choice of implant for the correct treatment of this type of fracture, as well as for radius and ulna fractures, which are also complicated in terms of their repair and clinical union due to the fact that they are bones with little muscular mass, therefore, the blood perfusion of the tissue is minimal. 

The teachers in this specialization are university professors with between 10 and 50 years of classroom and hospital experience. They are professors from schools on different continents, with different ways of doing surgery and with world-renowned surgical techniques. This makes this program a unique postgraduate diploma, different from any other that may be offered at this moment in the rest of the universities.
