This presentation concerns the applied anatomy of the canine elbow. After a thorough anatomical description of the joint itself, the adjacent muscles, nerves and blood vessels in this area will be reviewed. Important clinical references will be drawn and discussed: common lesions and diseases in this joint will be explained, as well as interpreted through diagnostic imaging. The main surgical approaches to this joint will be presented, with particular attention to the muscular landmarks to be used and to the nerves and blood vessels to be avoided during the process.

In fact, Maria does not merely focus on the anatomy itself during the webinars. She usually addresses the clinical importance of certain anatomical aspects. For example: how to avoid iatrogenic lesions during surgical or medical approaches, how to interpret diagnostic imaging, how to recognize specific diseases/lesions, to understand neurological tests, etc
