Course Description

This course is designed for: ACVS Specialists and Residents to discuss, plan and practice treatment of complex fractures of the distal humerus and elbow joint. It is intended to foster discussion and practical exploration of new innovations in these treatments and to provide a safe peer-to-peer environment for surgeons wanting to grow their skills and comfort with these challenging cases.

Humeral condylar fractures are sometimes simple procedures, but other times are complex, challenging, and may require multiple hours in the operating room. Advancements in our understanding of humeral intracondylar fissure (HIF) (formerly called incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle – IOHC) have spawned innovative new treatments. We’ll shared ideas and strategies , as well as spend time in the “surgeons’ playground” of novel and innovated implants and instrumentation designed to make surgeons better.

We’ll create space for open discussion where you can share techniques that have worked well for you (or even techniques that have NOT) while learning from other participants’ experiences and ideas. This is the summit where you can feel comfortable because you’re with your peers who can be transparent in what they’ve been doing, what seems to work and what has not … as well as what they’d like to learn. This “no attitude” summit is all about learning together and exploring new frontiers.

CSU VetCE is an ACVS educational partner. This course can be used toward maintenance of ACVS re-certification.

Access to this course will expire one year (365 days) from the course’s end date. After this period, users will no longer have access to course materials, resources, and any associated content. It is the responsibility of the users to complete the course and download any materials including their course completion certificate.

He completed a master of science degree in biomedical sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2015 with a project focused on the investigation of mechanically induced signaling events involved in bone adaptation. Dr. Bleedorn is currently a clinical associate professor in small animal orthopedics at Colorado State University. He provided clinical service in orthopedics at the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Care; instructed residents, interns, and DVM students; and conducts clinical research within the Comparative Orthopaedic Research Laboratory. Dr. Bleedorn’s research interests comprise several clinical, translational, and educational topics. These include imaging assessment and treatment of bone deformities, 3D printing for surgical planning, biomechanics and augmentation of fracture healing, limb salvage of bone tumors, and mechanisms of cruciate ligament disease in dogs. His educational interests include the development of instructional tools and assessment metrics for surgical training, resident recruitment, and clinic efficiency.

Dr. Silvia Jauernig

Silvia graduated from the Justus-Liebig-Universität in Giessen, Germany, in 1994 and received the title of diplomat in surgery in the year 2000.With a Diplomatic title in surgery, she is one of the most highly trained veterinary surgeons in Norway.
