[May 31, 2018; Kennett Square, Pennsylvania] – On Tuesday, June 19, 2018, join renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dean Richardson as he presents “Stories About Horse Fractures,” as part of the First Tuesday Lecture Series at Penn Vet’s New Bolton Center.
Dr. Richardson is the Charles W. Raker Professor of Equine Surgery and Chief of Large Animal Surgery at New Bolton Center, and is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons.
In his presentation, Dr. Richardson will discuss how fractures can occur in horses and review the parts of the equine skeleton most vulnerable to injury by sharing individual case presentations with happy endings.
He will also explore how clinicians repair complex injuries with a comprehensive approach that embraces technology such as New Bolton Center’s robotic CT system, a groundbreaking imaging tool that can create three-dimensional configurations of a fracture, characterizing the scope of an injury prior to operating.
The event, which is the last lecture of the 2017-2018 season, has been rescheduled to be held on Tuesday, June 19, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. in New Bolton Center’s Alumni Hall, 382 West Street Road, Kennett Square, PA.
