Course Description:

Pathologic changes to the hip are common, are you comfortable with the surgical approaches and how to execute various surgical procedures? Having a firm understanding of how to treat some of the most common disorders and injuries of the hip can add a niche to your practice. Our expert surgeons will come to your hospital and teach you how to quickly diagnose hip problems using the signalment, orthopedic examination, and radiographic findings in this 1-day course.

This interactive course will include both lectures and laboratories where participants will learn about hip dysplasia and early management with a juvenile pelvic symphysiodesis (JPS). Conditions necessitating a femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO) will be covered as well as a hands-on based approach to execution of the FHO. Hip luxations and reduction/toggle techniques will be covered. Participants will have the ability to perform a JPS, FHO, and toggle procedure on cadavers with attention on the craniolateral approach to the hip to minimize soft tissue trauma. Post-operative radiographs will be taken to assess the appropriateness of the FHO and toggle repair.

Learning Objectives:

Learn the approach to the pubis and how to perform a JPS how to diagnose, and plan the surgical management for a JPS

Dr. Beale knew he was going to be a vet since he was 9 years old. His original inspiration came from his Grandparents. Growing up he often spent his weekends at their home, covered in drool from playing with their English Mastiffs and Saint Bernards. In a recent article (American Humane), Dr. Beale wrote that his grandparents taught him the importance of the human-animal bond and the responsibility we have to give our pets the best care possible. Dr. Beale’s passion is education. He has spent a large portion of his career teaching in hands-on surgery labs and speaking at large conferences. Dr. Beale co-authored Small Animal Arthroscopy, an industry-defining textbook on orthopedics. He has written many other published articles and book chapters on specialized care. He received his DVM & completed his residency at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. After his board certification, he joined Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists in 1992, practicing there until 2019. In 2020, Dr. Beale founded BVSE with Dr. Mark Besancon and Nexus Veterinary Specialists with Dr. David Dycus. Dr. Beale loves the Houston Zoo and has worked with their expert team of veterinarians on many occasions. Lions, sea turtles, monkeys, sloths, and kangaroos are only a few of the animals Dr. Beale has worked with. Dr. Beale costarred on NetGeoWILD’s hit series, Animal ER, and he even hosted his own radio show, Your Pet’s Health, which aired on Houston KTRH 740.
