workshops, based in a small group environment with a faculty of highly regarded specialists in pelvic & hip
surgery. The maximum ratio for cadaveric workshops will be 4:1 for delegates to faculty and specimen.
Laboratory sessions will cover fracture fixation techniques, implants and plating. Full cadaveric
