PHILIP WITTE BSc BVSc CertAVP( GSAS) DSAS( Orth) MRCVS. RCVS Specialist in Small Animal Surgery( Orthopaedics) This Hip and elbow dysplasia in dogs course covers two common developmental causes of lameness in dogship dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. The course has been arranged to provide a sound knowledge of the aetiology of both conditions to enhance the understanding of diagnosis and therapy. The course covers surgical options for both conditions. Two lectures also cover conservative management( essentially an update on non-surgical osteoarthritis management) and the wider perspective encompassing breeding programs to reduce the prevalence of the contributing genes.
