Background:

The Training and Education Centre, ICAR- Indian Veterinary Research

Institute, Shivajinagar, Pune, which was established about 3 years ago, has in
recent days organized several specialised training programmes such as Surgery
and Imaging, Climate Resilient Livestock Farming, Cell Culture and
Entrepreneurship Development etc. in collaboration with the State Animal
Husbandry Department, KNP College of Veterinary Sciences, Shirwal and
National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE),
Hyderabad. Training programmes on Techniques of Fracture Fixation were
organized twice, and another training programme on External Skeletal Fixation
of Fractures was organised recently, wherein the participants were given
hands-on training on different techniques of fracture fixation in animals. These
training programmes were very successful and were well appreciated by the
participants, mostly the veterinary officers of Department of Animal Husbandry
and private veterinary practitioners. As many more veterinary officers and
practitioners have expressed their desire to have hands-on training programme
on Fracture Fixation Techniques, this course is being organized, wherein the
main focus will be on basics of internal fixation techniques such as
intramedullary nailing and bone plating.
Objectives:
Veterinarians in the field level, be it in the State Department or in private
practice, generally hesitant to undertake fracture fixation by internal fixation,
mostly due to lack of technical knowhow and confidence. This course is aimed
at imparting practical knowledge to the practicing veterinarians on basic
techniques of internal fixation, which would help them acquire skill and
confidence in undertaking different techniques of IM pin and plate fixation and
also help boost their professional competence.
Participants:

Husbandry Department and Private Veterinary Practitioners.
