Course Outline

This is an interactive course involving lectures, case reviews, panel discussion and hands on workshops, based in a small group environment with a maximum ratio of 4:1 for specimens. Topics from multiple exposures of the knee to management and use of alternative techniques in knee fracture management will be covered. (bold font)

The program is an exciting mix of dissections for both standard and alternative approaches to the knee including complex knee trauma management.
