WET LAB "REDUCING COMPLEXITY IN FRACTURE CARE"
COURSE CONTENT
This trauma course focuses on the surgical treatment of
- proximal humerus fractures,
- distal humerus fractures,
- proximal tibia fractures, and
- distal tibia/fibula fractures (including pilon fractures).
In addition to case discussions and the establishment of a tailored patient treatment plan, hands-on practice in the wet lab and the improvement of personal technical skills lay the foundation of the two-day course. Through the close interaction with our renowned faculty and other course participants, you will gain in-depth insights into current treatment concepts and the latest techniques in surgical fracture care.
This year’s course will not only cover open reduction and internal fixation using plate osteosynthesis, but will also include an engaging breakout session focused on managing proximal humerus fractures with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
