Custom Implants in Small Animal Surgery

The use of custom implants is becoming increasingly common in small animal surgery as 3D surgical planning and 3D metal printing technology become more widely available and less costly. This seminar will consist of several lectures from veterinary surgeons with experience in the development and implantation of custom implants in veterinary patients. The goal of the seminar will be to increase small animal surgeons' awareness of the potential of custom implants in the field of small animal surgery.
