Dr. Turpel recently attended a conference and wet lab course on an advanced elbow surgical technique known as the PAUL (proximal abducting ulnar osteotomy) procedure. Attendees included board certified surgeons from throughout North America, Europe and Asia. The course was designed to demonstrate the successes seen in treating elbow dysplasia and elbow arthritis with the PAUL procedure. The PAUL procedure has been recognized as a excellent option in the treatment of elbow dysplasia and arthritic changes. The development of the PAUL is considered a giant leap forward in our ability to help dogs with elbow disorders. We are very proud to announce that at the end of the conference Dr Turpel was awarded first place in a competition amongst his peers. Congratulations Dr. Turpel!
