The aim of this project is to collaborate in the development and theoretical-practical training of students and professionals, besides that to promote integration and implementation of acts with the population, through internships, promoting contact between professionals, students and owners. In this aspect, production of didactic materials, programs to prevent diseases and data gathering for presentations and publications were performed. In this study, orthopedic conditions of companion animals were characterized in order to inform general public, collect information for learning and for preventive veterinary medicine. With this purpose, a retrospective study of musculoskeletal system affections at the Veterinary Hospital "Governador Laudo Natel", Faculty of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences, campus Jaboticabal, from May 2014 to June 2015 was conducted. During this period, 585 patient were selected. From those, 557 were dogs (95,21%) and 28 (4,79%) were cats. It was observed in both cases a higher prevalence of 0-4-year-old (45,4% and 92,8%, respectively) patients. It was found that the most prevalent orthopedic cases included fractures (33,69% in dogs and 92,86% in cats) and cranial cruciate ligament rupture (16,84% in dogs). Thus, the achievement of the extension project enabled the integration of several people, allowing further information and knowledge about veterinary orthopedics.
