OVERVIEW
AOTrauma Course - Hand and Wrist Comprehensive Fracture Management is organized by AO North America and would be held during Sep 08 - 11, 2016 at Rosen Shingle Creek, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event are basically for surgeons in orthopedic, plastic, and general surgery fellows who care for patients with hand fractures and who are interested in expanding their knowledge, skills, and judgement in selecting patients should also attend. Residents in training may also find the Course to be beneficial.
This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 27.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
The majority of hand fractures are un-displaced or minimally displaced. These fractures are stable (do not lose their position spontaneously or with gentle progressive range-of-motion exercises) and require only protection and rehabilitation. This Course is designed to provide participants with systematic analysis of hand and wrist fractures and to apply treatment methodologies.
This year the conference brings to you the latest updates in orthopedics in the form of didactic lectures, small group discussions, and hands - on laboratory sessions.
The topics covered during the conference are bone and implant biomechanics, atraumatic soft tissue techniques, surgical incisions and approaches, stable fracture fixation, treatment of nonunion, osteotomies, arthrodesis, and rehabilitation.
Treatment methodologies based upon fracture management principles :
* Anatomic reduction
* Stable fixation
* Preservation of blood supply
* Functional aftercare
* Early mobilization.
