Course Outline

This is an interactive course involving lectures, case reviews, panel discussion and hands on cadaveric workshops, based in a small group environment with a faculty of highly regarded specialists in 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. Cadaveric torso specimens with both legs will be utilised. Radiolucent tables with C-ARM X Ray will allow accurate fracture reduction and alignment. Topics from multiple exposures of the hip to alternative techniques of complex fracture management and fixation, including THR will be covered.

This course is accredited by the AOA for 16 CPD points.

Registration is now closed as the course is full.
