The next “orthopedic weekend” at Ohio State University will feature the Universal Hip Course as well as an Advanced Hip Course. Both classes will be held at the Veterinary Hospital on the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH.
The weekend will begin with a two day Universal Hip Course on Friday, November 6th, followed by an Advanced Hip Course on Sunday, November 8th.
The Universal Course is designed for veterinarians interested in learning the correct technique of utilizing the BioMedtrix BFX® and CFX® Total Hip Replacement system, focusing on the surgical technique as well as the clinical follow-up. Attending surgeons will participate in a wet lab setting providing an opportunity to use the instruments to gain an understanding of the surgical objectives.
The BioMedtrix Advanced THR Workshop is designed for the orthopedic surgeon with some experience of the BioMedtrix Universal Total Hip Replacement System.
The goal of the advanced course is to train the surgeon to achieve a consistent surgical outcome by correct patient selection and attention to surgical technique.
Management of surgical challenges and techniques to address intraoperative and post-operative complications will be demonstrated.
Please visit the course overview page to review the course agenda.

 Christina Goff is wondering if veterinary surgeon Bill Liska implanted retriever parts when he gave her West Highland white terrier, Maggie, a Micro Hip prosthesis.
"Maggie is now enjoying swim rehab every evening," said Goff, noting that Maggie apparently has a new passion, not common for terriers, for retrieving a sporting dog training bumper thrown into the water.
