The interactive small-animal orthopedic surgery academy for vets and vet nurses: run the orthopedic exam as one fixed sequence, read the fracture before you name it, measure the tibial plateau angle and CORA on a real radiograph trainer, choose cruciate and patella procedures on the 2022–2026 evidence, and take the osteoarthritis patient through a lifelong plan — with every clinical number dated, sourced and stamped “verify against a current formulary”.
8 modules · 40 lessons · 120 quiz questions · 14 branching cases · 7 interactive tools
Recorded webinars can describe a tibial plateau angle. They cannot drill the four landmarks, the rotated-film trap and the measurement error sources until they run themselves on a film.
The 2022 TPLO-versus-TTA systematic review, the 2026 evidence summary and the 2024–2025 anti-NGF label updates changed what we can honestly promise. A course still defaulting to one procedure for every knee is out of date on its most-taught decision.
An implant sized by feel fails differently from one sized by rule, and a lameness grade written down at every recheck turns “she seems better” into evidence. The right number at the right step is the plan.
Every lesson, case and tool uses the same six thinking tools, so they become automatic. Published schemes (AO/OTA fracture classification, Gustilo-Anderson, COAST, PennHIP/OFA/FCI/BVA screening) are taught with attribution and are not ours.
Look at walk, trot and stance · Inspect and palpate toes to hip · Manipulate each joint with stress tests · Bone-specific tests and a written grade. The never-miss orthopedic exam sequence.
Localize the region · Assess joint versus bone versus soft tissue · Measure the gait grade · Evaluate the next image. Exam findings turned into a working localization before imaging.
Plan the construct · Length and span · Apposition goal · Tension or neutralization · Engage the cortices. The written discipline behind plate choice.
Size versus medulla · Cortices engaged · Resistance and working length · Engage the near fragment · Width versus bone. Screw and pin sizing as a checklist, not a guess.
Weight scoring · Exercise prescription · Intake and nutrition · Goal metrics · Home setup · Therapy stack. The non-drug half of osteoarthritis and recovery.
Stifle exam and imaging · Tibial plateau angle · Instability type · Function and lifestyle · Luxation co-pathology · Expense and constraints. Cruciate and patella decisions on one page.
Each branching case is a consult-room conversation: you choose what to recommend and how to explain it to the owner, and the owner answers. Scores: best move +2, acceptable +1, poor 0, harmful −2. The first case is free.
30 questions drawn from every module, 80 % to pass. Pass and you can download a verifiable certificate of completion with your study hours for your professional-development records — a certificate of completion, not accredited CE.
Module 1 is free — no card, no email. The full academy unlocks with your access code after checkout.
One-time payment on the GlobalVetCo store — PayPal, cards, Shop Pay. Your access code is emailed after checkout. See the Full Academy on the GlobalVetCo store.
Veterinarians in small-animal practice first, with an in-course nurse and technician track (gait filming, radiograph positioning, splint and post-op nursing, analgesia monitoring, rehab coaching). There is no separate product and no extra charge.
It reflects labels and guidance through 2026 — the 2024 ISFM/AAFP feline NSAID rules, the FDA's 2024–2025 bedinvetmab safety evaluation and February 2025 label update, grapiprant, and sourced analgesia reference values. Every number shows its source and year and a verify-against-a-current-formulary stamp, because labels change — ours were checked in October 2026.
Drug labels differ by country (US, EU, UK), so every drug lesson carries a region note. In Hong Kong and Macau, check local availability and labeling before prescribing. Doses are educational reference values to verify against a current formulary and your practice protocols.
Eight licensed real gait films are available in the free preview, alongside real clinical radiographs and source-attributed reconstructions. Operative procedure teaching currently uses original schematics, not surgical demonstration footage. No AI clinical video is used.
Yes — a certificate of completion after passing a 30-item case-based exam at 80 %. No CE or accreditation is claimed.
