The Sawbone session on this day will allow surgeons to perform RidgeStop and TTT (Tibial Tuberosity Transposition) on small anatomical sawbones, reinforcing proficiency. In the afternoon will be dedicated to cadaver demonstration featuring procedures such as TTT, block trochleoplasty, PPP, and RidgeStop, followed by a practical cadaver session, affording vets invaluable experience in these procedures.
