Course Description :
This Basic Course is designed to provide the participant with a fundamental knowledge of operative treatment of fractures according to the AO principles.

This course is the foundation for the AONA curriculum, which teaches the surgeon how to manage trauma and trauma reconstruction. The goal of this course is not to advocate the treatment of all fractures by surgical fixation, but rather to help ensure that when surgery is carried out, that it is done properly based upon principles, appropriate preoperative planning, and decision making.
Conference Objectives are :
• 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.
• Apply related psychomotor skills to the practical application of orthopaedic implants to fractured bones.
• Plan the initial treatment of the polytraumatized patient.
