With this program, you will develop the surgical techniques assisted by Arthroscopy for the treatment of periarticular pathologies"

The teaching team of this Postgraduate diploma in Arthroscopy has made a careful selection of the different state-of-the-art techniques for experienced professionals working in the veterinary field.   

Currently, thanks to Arthroscopy, joints rarely have to be opened, pain is much less of an issue and it allows the patient to walk a few hours after the treatment, achieving much greater improvement. Although this technique requires a significant investment and ongoing training, its use has spread all over the world, making it a common practice in veterinary hospitals. 

This Postgraduate diploma describes the Arthroscopy techniques of the different joints, the adequate preparation of the patient for each technique, the handling of the specific instruments, the surgical treatment of the intra-articular structures, as well as the periarticular structures assisted by Arthroscopy. 

In addition, the clinical history of the patient is examined and the most useful diagnostic methods to interpret the laboratory findings that may be relevant and support the radiographic or resonance examination are discussed; prior to an analysis of what is observed in histology and all the methods that exist to reach a definitive diagnosis. 

Regarding the orthopedic physical examination, specialized aspects are developed referring to the methodology to carry out an orthopedic physical examination. Specifically, it focuses on the protocol for examining a patient, from the most superficial part of the skin to the deepest part of the bone marrow, taking into account the clinical history and observation of the patient in order to establish possible diagnoses. 

The teachers in this training 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 Postgraduate diploma a unique specialization program, different from any other that may be offered at this moment in the rest of the universities.
