This course is delivered as four case-based modules per day, thereby covering 11 difficult trauma fractures and injuries in depth over 3 days. Each module is delivered by one very experienced AOTrauma faculty member who will present a challenging trauma scenario that requires in-depth investigation, planning, operative intervention, and rehabilitation. Participants work through every step of the case along with the faculty member, and the faculty member then presents their plan, outcomes, best available evidence, and their philosophy on the management of the problem. During each module, participants will form small groups of three to make a preoperative plan-one or more groups will be invited to present their plan and there will be awards for the best plans throughout the course.
