Introduction to the Program
This program is the best option you can find to specialize in Fracture Fixation Methods ”

The teaching team of this Postgraduate diploma in Fracture Fixation Methods has made a careful selection of the different state-of-the-art techniques for experienced professionals working in the veterinary field. Specifically, this specialization focuses on the study of skeletal external fixators and circular fixators, intramedullary nailing, and bone plates and screws.
External fixation of fractures is the use of a rigid brace placed outside the body and connected to the bone by needles through the skin (transcutaneous). The technique of placement with respect to other methods of internal osteosynthesis shows that external fixation improves the biological environment preserves soft tissue and irrigation, accelerates healing, decreases the risk of infection and reduces surgical time.
The external fixator provides stable fixation of the bony ends without the need for implants in the fracture line or immobilization of neighboring joints, therefore, it is especially indicated for open, exposed or infected fractures. It enables the compression, neutralization or detraction of the bony strands depending on the need of the pathology.
Fracture fixation with intramedullary (IM) pins in dogs and cats began in the 1940s. Its popularity increased due to advances in anesthesia, aseptic techniques, antibiotics and the awareness on the part of veterinarians and animal owners that, in most treated cases, there was a satisfactory repair.
Therefore, the intramedullary nail, for a long time, has been the most used implant in veterinary medicine because it is placed in the medullary cavity and becomes resistant to bending in all directions. Its strength is related to its diameter and its ability to restrict the movement of the fractured bone fragments. It is the most commonly used fixation system in dogs and cats.
In the last 20 years, fracture fixation with the use of rigid internal fixation implants, such as plates, has evolved enormously. It is possible to speak of eight or nine different systems of fracture fixation, the most widely recognized, using plates. In this case, the specialization will focus on the most widely used worldwide.

Postgraduate Diploma in Fracture Fixation Methods
Fracture fixation is one of the areas of veterinary medicine that, due to the nature of its processes and the extensive field of application of its practices, has presented major methodological advances in recent years. This situation has generated a growing interest, on the part of the professionals specialized in the area, for the approach of academic updating programs that allow an optimal approach to the new implementations in the area. Understanding this situation, at TECH Global University we have designed our program of Postgraduate Diploma in Fracture Fixation Methods focused on the development of new models of skeletal external fixators, contemplating the possibilities present in their use. Likewise, this postgraduate course will pay special attention to updating the professional on the following topics: the identification of the main advantages and disadvantages of the use of circular fixators; and the particularities to be considered in the use of the Steinmann intramedullary nail in the management of cases of intercondylar femur fracture.
