Lameness doesn’t have to be ‘lame’. Assessing lameness in a ten minute consultation

In this CPD session we will refresh the main features of an orthopaedic consultation including suggested approaches to spotting lameness, specific history taking and effective orthopaedic examination. There will be a case-based section with emphasis on lameness spotting and the most common pitfalls of lameness interpretation.
