TPLO Course 2026: A complete success for surgical precision in veterinary medicine
Last Saturday, the doc4pets Academy in Idar-Oberstein once again opened its doors for an intensive, top-class professional development course. The focus was on our highly sought-after [product/service/etc.]. TPLO Course 2026, which has established itself as one of the most important dates for ambitious small animal surgeons.
With a total of eight participants and intensive support from two top-class experts, the seminar offered the ideal setting for in-depth learning and practical exchange.
Expert duo guarantees learning success: Dr. Hörtdörfer & Susanne Arndt
A particular highlight was the professional leadership of the course. FTÄ Dr. Nicola Hörtdörfer, a proven expert in the field of orthopedics, guided the participants with her usual high level of professional precision through the complex theoretical and practical aspects of the Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.
She was supported in this by Susanne Arndt, who, as an experienced specialist supervisor, ensured a smooth process and the direct transfer of knowledge into practice. This close supervision ratio – two experts for nine participants – allowed individual questions to be answered immediately and procedures at the operating table to be corrected directly.
Practical relevance in focus: From X-ray image to the perfect incision
The TPLO Course 2026 The seminar was deliberately designed as a hands-on course. The participants, all colleagues with extensive prior experience in osteosynthesis, worked their way step by step through the demanding procedure.
- Preoperative planning: Meticulous X-ray visualization and geometric calculation of the optimal rotation angle.
- Implant selection: Professional selection of state-of-the-art panel systems (supported by Starloc).
- Practical implementation: Implementation of osteotomy and plate fixation under realistic conditions on a cadaver.
- Postoperative success monitoring: Analysis of the results to ensure the highest quality standards.
Why the TPLO course 2026 is in such high demand
TPLO is still considered the gold standard in the treatment of cruciate ligament ruptures in dogs. For veterinarians, mastering this technique not only offers enormous added value for their patients, but also significantly enhances the medical reputation of their practice.
Thanks to the recognition by ATF hours (7 hours) Thanks to the small group guarantee, this session was also quickly booked up. The feedback from the nine participants was consistently positive: The friendly atmosphere at the doc4pets Academy and Dr. Hörtdörfer's high level of expertise were particularly praised.
