The University of Illinois at Chicago will host an SOP Locking Plate System and Pancarpal Arthrodesis Workshop on Saturday, May 15th.
This course will provide registrants with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with two new implants: the String-of-Pearls (SOP) locking plate and the castless PanCarpal Arthrodesis (PCA) plate.
The course will include lectures and biomechanical data to help participants understand the rationale and properties of the SOP, a locking plate using traditional screws. Case presentations will illustrate the clinical applications of this plate prior to a laboratory on sawbones.
The afternoon will focus on the PCA plate, a new implant allowing arthrodesis of the radio-carpal joint without the disadvantages of post-operative external coaptation. Lectures will be followed by a laboratory on sawbones.
Registrants for this course should have a basic understanding of plating techniques. As a result of this course, participants are expected to understand the rationale and principles of application of the SOP and PCA plates, their clinical indications, and advantages over current techniques. Participants should also feel comfortable applying these implants on clinical patients.

The next “orthopedic weekend” at Ohio State University will feature the Universal Hip Course as well as a Total Knee Replacement 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, April 30th through Saturday, May 1st. A Total Knee Replacement Course will follow on Sunday, May 2nd.
Both courses are designed for veterinarians interested in learning the correct technique of utilizing BioMedtrix joint replacement systems, focusing on the surgical technique as well as clinical follow-up. Attending surgeons will participate in a wet lab setting which provides an opportunity to use the instruments to gain an understanding of the surgical objectives. Delegates are also encouraged to participate in the BioMedtrix Product Certification Program which provides additional hands on experience before beginning clinical cases.
