Get Engaged! - An Evening Seminar for Vets and Nurses

This year, our free CAVE Member Event consists of two presentations running concurrently, one for Vets with A/Prof Mark Glyde, and one for Nurses with Dr Isobel Monotti.

This is a unique opportunity for the whole team to update their skills and knowledge on joint taps from patient sedation to diagnosis.

Location

The seminars will be delivered live on campus as well as live streamed with full interactivity for everyone who joins us online, members and non-members alike.

However! To ensure we can cater to everyone, members and non-members must register on Eventbrite whether it is an e-ticket or an on campus ticket. Thank you!

THIS PAGE IS FOR THE VETERINARIAN SEMINAR

TOPIC: Using joint taps in diagnosing lameness problems

Vet Stream with A/Prof Mark Glyde

Localising and diagnosing the cause of lameness in dogs and cats can be challenging.

Quadrupeds have the ability to shift their centre of mass and effectively 'mask' their lameness. In addition, while the majority of lameness in small animals comes from joint disease, identifying an enlarged/diseased joint can be very difficult. The prime example of this is shoulder problems where the surrounding muscle mass precludes reliable palpation.

Fortunately, any significant joint disease creates changes in the synovial fluid that are generally easy to interpret in-house or with the aid of clinical pathology services.

In this case-based session, Mark will use several video case studies starting with the orthopaedic examination, then working through x-rays and other imaging before performing the joint taps with two key objectives:

• Firstly, to simplify and build your confidence in the reliable collection of diagnostic joint fluid samples from the shoulder, elbow, carpus and stifle joints.
• Secondly, he will work through case studies showing how to easily interpret synovial fluid, mostly in-house, and what indications exist for submitting fluid for full analysis.

The aim of this seminar is to improve your knowledge, skills and confidence in using joint taps in diagnosing lameness due to joint problems.
