Zusatzinformationen:

Target participants
Participants must have a good working knowledge of aseptic surgery as familiarity with basic surgical instrumentation, and their use will be assumed. Comprehension of basic fracture management procedures, such as lag screw technique and application principles of DCPs, are advantageous. Working knowledge of LCP technology is an asset. Those participants actively involved in fracture management procedures profit the most from this course, especially in problem-oriented discussions. 

As this course builds on the procedures discussed and practiced during the Basic Principles and Advanced Techniques of Fracture Management in Horses, participants of the present Course who have successfully participated at least in a Basic Principles Course and preferably in the Advanced Techniques Course profit the most. As this course is also open to veterinarians specializing in dental surgery, no prerequisites for Equine AO VET Courses are set. It is expected that dental specialists review and study the distant learning materials sent out after registration has occurred and before arriving in Zurich.
