• Discuss the concepts of stability, their influence on bone healing, and how to apply implants to achieve appropriate stability
• Plan a treatment based on assessment, imaging, classification and decision making
• Apply reduction techniques in fracture management with attention to the importance of the soft tissue • Plan the initial treatment of a polytraumatized patient
• Apply related psychomotor skills to the practical application of orthopaedic implants to fractured bones
