All forms of detection and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases or problems that can affect ruminants are compiled in the most complete postgraduate certificate of the online educational panorama"

The study of this postgraduate certificate includes everything from the anatomy and biomechanics of the hoof, preventive management and diagnosis and treatment of podiatric conditions, to tendon, joint and bone conditions, including the emergency treatment of bone fractures, as well as the prognosis and surgical options for long bone fractures.

The diagnosis of lameness and especially of hoof disorders, which represent a great economic loss, is fundamental for animal welfare, and adequate preventive and therapeutic management must be carried out.

Serious injuries such as arthritis and septic tenosynovitis have treatment options that keep the animal comfortable and productive and therefore should be known and resolved.

Advances in orthopedic surgery with new principles, implants and methods offer possibilities in ruminant traumatology. The genetic value of breeding stock may require specialized orthopedic surgery in reference centers. But the field surgeon can also resolve fractures in a practical, economical and effective manner, as will be seen with the application of plaster casts, transfixing nails or external fixators.
