Last Saturday, the doc4pets Academy in Idar-Oberstein once again opened its doors for an intensive, top-class professional development course. The highlight was our highly sought-after TPLO course 2026, which has established itself as one of the most important events for ambitious small animal surgeons.
This one-day seminar combines theoretical lessons with practical exercises. You will begin with an introduction to the fundamentals of TPLO, including the pathophysiology of cruciate ligament ruptures and the biomechanical principles of the surgery. Following this, you will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops where you can practice the TPLO technique on models under the guidance of Dr. Hettlich and her team.

Precise pre-examination and planning prior to surgical procedures, especially tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in veterinary medicine, are crucial to understanding the biomechanical conditions of the knee joint and determining correct surgical procedures. This includes a comprehensive assessment of the joint anatomy, muscle function and body weight of the animal to ensure optimal functionality after surgery. Detailed planning prevents post-operative complications and contributes to the long-term health and mobility of the animal.
