Continue your education with Dr. Alexandre Caron in the second part of our free two-part CCL rupture care series webinar.
Dr. Caron will present a multimodal approach to the postoperative management of ruptured CCL in dogs and the role of post-surgical physical therapy to restore normal gait and improve post-surgical recovery with photobiomodulation (laser) therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and the Stance Analyzer. Clinical cases from general practice will also be presented.
Learning Objectives
- Photobiomodulation (laser) and its role in non-surgical and pre- and post-surgical cases of cruciate injury and associated osteoarthritis
- A review of osteoarthritis studies that include laser therapy treatment
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP): What it is, how it works, and how it can benefit patients with cruciate disease and osteoarthritis
- Potential complications associated with post-cruciate surgery
- Objective monitoring of recovery using the Stance Analyzer to measure and quantify outcomes
