OVERVIEW
Management of Facial Trauma Course is organized by AO North America and would be held during Aug 26 - 27, 2017 at Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event are surgeons in training in the fields of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Otolaryngology, Plastic and Reconstruction, Ophthalmology, and Oculoplastics. Practicing surgeons may also find this course beneficial. This cme conference has been approved with maximum of 13.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
The principles courses are designed to equip surgeons with the state-of-the-art skills and techniques for treating and managing CMF fractures from trauma, as well as congenital defects, secondary correction of injuries and aesthetic reconstruction. Highlights of the course will include sessions on anatomy, biomechanics, surgical approaches and principles of internal fixation of the mandible and midface.

• Formulate a treatment plan (operative and non-operative)
• Perform the specific treatment for facial trauma
• Modify the treatment plan when necessary
• Manage patient follow-up and rehabilitation
• Identify and manage complications
AO Principles of Fracture Fixation:
• Anatomic Reduction of the fracture fragments, particularly joint fractures;
• Stable fixation to ensure proper healing of the fracture allowing surrounding tissue to move and strengthen;
• Atraumatic surgical technique to preserve blood supply to the bone fragments and soft tissue; and
• Early, pain free mobilization returning the patient to function as soon as possible
This Course is available for physicians only.
