Bridging the Gap: Translating Clinical Research to Clinical Practice
Many veterinary practitioners perform orthopedic surgery, but may not have the opportunity to keep updated on the latest relevant clinical research that improves and defines the best standards in successful orthopedics.
Bridging the Gap: Translating Clinical Research to Clinical Practice program aims to connect clinical research with clinical practice by providing a forum for clinical researchers to present their research to practitioners internationally.
The objectives of the symposia are:
- To make practitioners, residents, and specialists aware of recent and cutting-edge clinical research that is relevant and applicable to orthopedic surgical practice
- To group research into themed topics that are summarized by experienced AO VET faculty and followed by a moderated discussion on the topic
AO VET is looking for clinically relevant research in all fields of veterinary orthopedics to be presented over to an exciting virtual symposium.
The call for abstract is now open – deadline for submission: September 3, 2024 - 23:59 CET.
Virtual symposium: December 2024* (exact date to be announced)
* The event is scheduled to take place during the AO Davos Courses, December 7 -14, 2024. Exact date to be announced.

Orthobiologics, Therapies and Bovine
This symposium focuses of translating the latest research into clinical practice will consist of presentations focusing on biologic therapies in musculoskeletal disease and a novel prosthesis for the management of cranial cruciate rupture in cattle, and how these can and should inform how we practice.
Contributors: Dean Richardson, Laurie Goodrich, Kyla Ortved, Samantha Morello, José García-López, Lindsay Knott, Sushmitha Durgam, Corsin Heim, Caroline Constant

Internal Fixation, Biomechanics and Outcomes
This symposium consists of presentations focusing on clinical outcomes and biomechanical research studies and how these can and should inform how we practice.
Learning objectives:
- The athletic prognosis in Thoroughbred Racehorses following carpal arthroscopy.
- The long-term outcomes and potential limiting factors for horses undergoing Proximal Interphalangeal Joint arthrodesis using a combination of an axial LCP and abaxial trans articular screws.
- The benefits of a modified 5.5 mm cortex screw when tested in an equine lateral condylar fracture model.
- The use of an aiming device under CT guidance can improve outcomes when managing equine distal phalangeal fractures.

Internal Fixation, Biomechanics and Outcomes
In this session you will hear yet-to-be-published research asking the following questions:
- What is the prevalence of meniscal lesions in small breed dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease?
- Can we use pre-operative radiographs to predict meniscal injury in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease?
- Can we quantify the risk of luxation following total hip replacement in dogs?
These abstracts will be discussed by our panel of international orthopaedic experts: Professor Kenneth Johnson, Professor Eithne Comerford, and Professor Antonio Pozzi.
Learning objectives:
- The prevalence of meniscal lesions in small breed dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease.
- Use of pre-operative radiographs to predict meniscal injury in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament disease.
- The value of routine follow up radiographs following tibial plateau levelling osteotomy.
- Quantify the risk of luxation following total hip replacement in dogs.
