About The Webinar

This webinar will provide you with strategies to optimise the outcome of your small animal orthopaedic patients. Together we will brainstorm approaches to minimise the development and the clinical consequences of osteoarthritis, how to plan an effective aftercare and ways to enhance owner compliance.
Our possibilities to assess outcomes after small animal orthopaedic surgery have much improved with the introduction of objective outcome measurement tools.
For an optimal outcome we need to ensure that the patient is in the best possible condition for surgery, receives the best possible management during and after the operation and experiences the best possible rehabilitation.
Optimising the results of orthopaedic surgery requires a holistic view of both, treatment and patient. Optimal results can only be achieved in a team effort with everybody, animal patient, owner, primary vet, specialists, nurses and physiotherapists working closely together towards the common goal.
