March 18, 2026 · COMMUNITY

Are you an NVA General Practice DVM looking to learn or refine your TPLO technique? This two-day intensive course is exactly what you've been waiting for.
What You'll Get:
This isn't your average CE course. The TPLO & Plating Class combines online pre-recorded lectures and a hands-on wet lab — giving you the knowledge and real-world experience to perform tibial plateau-leveling osteotomies with confidence.
📚 Part One: Online Lecture (available 30 days before the lab)
Five comprehensive modules covering everything from aetiopathogenesis and radiographic considerations to surgical technique, the PAX Polyaxial Locking TPLO Plate System, and post-operative management.
*This lab is only for veterinarians who already have a thorough knowledge of the relevant stifle anatomy, extensive stifle surgery experience, and prior training in bone plating techniques and principles.
🔬 Part Two: 1.5-Day Hands-On Wet Lab
Under expert faculty supervision, you'll perform the TPLO technique on a bone model and two canine cadavers. Plus, a half-day afternoon session on Day 2 introduces the PAX Bone Plating System for fracture management.
🤝 Bonus: Extended Mentorship with Securos via OrthoHelp
Your learning doesn't stop when the course ends. Gain continued access to instructors for orthopedic case assessments, technique questions, implant selection, and post-op complication support.
Before you join us, see where your orthopedic knowledge stands. Take this quick quiz to find out what you already know — and what you'll master at the PetOne Veterinary Training Center!
Whether you aced the quiz or spotted some gaps, this course was built to sharpen your skills and give you the hands-on confidence to deliver exceptional orthopedic care.
