Dear VOS members,
In just under 5 months we will host the
47th Annual Veterinary Orthopedic Society Conference: February 1-8, 2020 at Sun Valley, Idaho. We look forward to seeing all of you there. As I have said in previous newsletters, this will be a very special year ... great speakers, great Jacques Jenny lecturer, great social gatherings, great entertainment, great venue for skiing, both downhill and cross country, great fly fishing, sledding and ice skating ... and Maralyn Probst's retirement party. You really can't miss this one!
There are two important things that you can do to assure the success of this conference and VOS in general:
First, you can pay your dues on time. Come on, it's Maralyn's last year doing this ... please don't make her hound you to turn in your dues! They were due September 1 ... but Maralyn is kind enough to give you a little wiggle room. Please reward her by responding. Seriously, your dues make it possible for this organization to remain viable and to offer the annual conference.
Second, you can submit an abstract for presentation at the 2020 Conference. The temptation is to say, "I've got plenty of time to do this" but in reality, the cut-off date for submission this year is earlier than in prior years due to the early conference dates. The conference depends upon these great abstracts to provide the quality content that we've all grown accustomed to. In our survey after the 2019 Conference, 95% of you said that you wanted to see more clinical science presented. This is your chance to contribute to this body of knowledge. Please take the time to create your abstract or encourage your resident to do so. José García-López and Caleb Hudson have a great program planned, but they need your input.
Finally, please let me know what we can do to improve our chances of seeing you in Sun Valley.
Thank you for the opportunity to represent VOS this year!
Janet Van Dyke
President

We invite practitioners, academicians, and researchers interested in large animal, small animal, and exotic species, to submit abstracts of novel studies in practical and scientific topics related to veterinary orthopedics and traumatology. Preference will be given to abstracts that have clinical relevance. Papers addressing results of controlled retrospective and prospective clinical studies are strongly encouraged. Clinician investigators should also consider submitting innovative surgical techniques, or case reports describing unusual or difficult cases as these will be reviewed separate from the scientific abstracts. Presentations will be limited to
10 minutes and followed by 5 minutes of discussion. Posters must fit within the 4' (height) x 4' (width) area provided.
Submission categories will be:
- Clinical/Scientific Studies
- Case reports: a maximum of three novel or interesting cases
The Mark S. Bloomberg Memorial Resident Research Award was established to recognize outstanding resident abstract submissions to the scientific program. At least one recipient per year will be awarded up to $1,500.00 towards expenses to attend and present their abstract at our annual meeting. Only individuals currently in a residency training program or within 2 years of completion of a formal residency program are eligible. The abstract submission may only be of studies conducted during the residency program. All abstracts being submitted for consideration of this award must indicate so on online submission form.
Winners of the prestigious Bloomberg Awards are encouraged to attend the Thursday night banquet. This is the recipient's opportunity to be recognized by the VOS membership and to "give back" by attending and acknowledging VOS's contribution to his or her research and career. The Bloomberg lectures will be scheduled for Thursday morning to make attendance at the banquet even easier.
The Student/Intern Research Award was established to recognize outstanding student or intern abstract submissions to the scientific program. Up to two recipients per year will be awarded (depending on abstract quality) up to $1,500.00 towards expenses to attend and present their abstract at our annual meeting.

A PEARL OF WISDOM ... FROM RANDY BASINGER
|
We are pleased to share this pearl of wisdom from VOS member
Randy Basinger of South Carolina.
"During cranial cruciate ligament reconstruction, careful evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of meniscal injuries is important to achieving consistently successful outcomes. When limited medial arthrotomy is done to see, probe and treat meniscal injuries, obtaining good visualization is critical and can be difficult especially in patients with high or excessive TPA. Whenever I am having difficulty getting a good view of the menisci, I stop struggling and go ahead and complete the TPLO first. Once the tibial plateau has been leveled, it brings the menisci right into easy viewing as a consequence of the rotation and inspection and treatment become much simpler."
