In this episode we're joined by BVOA chair Andy Moores :-)

Andy is a renowned specialist based in South East England. We hear about his career, discuss BVOA, and hear about Andy's experiences with the 3rd generation TATE elbow replacement system. We look at a recent paper on complications and outcomes on 80 dogs with common calcaneal tendon pathology and then discuss the condition more broadly with some top tips for tarsal arthrodesis.

For this episode we're joined by RCVS and EBVS Specialist Ellie Lederer. Ellie tells all about what it's like to work with Duncan (!), we hear about her career, discuss her approach to HIF and Emily Frapwell's paper on humeral condylar morphology. We also hear about Ellie's recent experience as a contestant on the TV show Gladiators and chat about what we as surgeons can learn from professional athletes.
