Description
TTA offers the fastest return to function of all cruciate disease treatments. However, TTA can be daunting for many veterinarians starting on their orthopaedic journey. At OssAbility, we have removed the learning curve by creating a configurable TTA Guide that gives you precise control of the osteotomy position, length and tibial crest thickness to help you perform TTA with confidence. Learn how to perform Guided TTA using a patient-specific preoperative plan provided by OssAbility’s Decision Support service, as well as how to assess the meniscus and perform a
mini-arthrotomy.
Key Skills:
- Perform epidural analgesia
- Perform meniscal surgery: probing, therapeutic release, prophylactic release and partial meniscectomy
- Learn how to position patients for radiography
- Understand the principles of TTA
- Perform Guided TTA using an osteotomy Guide and surgical plan
- Understand how Decision Support can help you identify risks, configure your Guide and provide you with postoperative feedback
Speaker Biography
Dr. Jack Davey BVetBiol/BVetSc (Hons I), MANZCVS
Jack graduated from Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, with first class Honours for his research on bone healing and also received the ‘Bruce Christie Surgical Prize’ for a high level of aptitude and clinical skills in small animal surgery during the veterinary course.
He then started his career as a mixed animal veterinarian working in Launceston, Tasmania where his passion for surgery strengthened. In 2018, Jack was awarded the NVC’s ‘Best Recent Graduate’ award for his work in veterinary clinics across Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia with both large and small animals. During this time he became familiar with the TTA OssAbility system treating many lame dogs with this technique.
Jack moved to Canberra in 2021 where he completed a surgical internship and residency at Animal Referral Hospital and now resides in Brisbane where he works at Veterinary Specialist Services. He has a strong interest in neurosurgery, surgical oncology, and soft tissue surgery, but aims to be involved in all aspects of veterinary surgery.
+/- In addition to surgery Jack enjoys the process of research and has published articles on oral reconstructive techniques, a unique colonic injury, CT assessment of bone healing, and negative pressure wound therapy devices.
