Gain confidence to independently treat moderate fractures in your clinical environment. Increase your knowledge and skills in managing moderate cases via the latest techniques & best practices - equips you with the tools to take home.
Learning Objectives:
-
Improve your analytical thinking to evaluate fracture specific cases for your individual treatment
-
Sharpen your decision making for optimal treatment strategy and fracture specific approaches
-
Gain techniques to perform the reduction and fixation with different implants
-
Understand how to best utilize fluoroscopy for pre-, intra-, & postoperative control
-
Build confidence in planning, performing and defending your individual cases
Fracture Focus:
Moderate and common fractures (AO-A3/C1): e.g., distal Radius, proximal Humerus
Target Group:
If you are a surgical trainee close to the end of your residency or a young consultant in orthopedic trauma management then this course fits perfectly with you. Completion of L1 Basic & L2 Intermediate courses is a requirement.
Duration:
1.5 days (two wet lab sessions)
Certification:
TRAUMA ACADEMY L3 Advanced "Copper" certificate & lapel pin. CME points applied (depending on course)
Course Description & Agenda:
The L3 Advanced course addresses the latest techniques and best practices in operative fracture management to successfully deal with moderate orthopedic trauma challenges. The course reflects the daily life challenges you are confronted with in your clinical routine. This is done by training end-to-end trauma management on realistically pre-fractured human specimens. Refining hands-on skills in a lifelike clinical setting is in focus and includes interactive discussions with the masters and participants around your individual case. Didactics are built around planning, performing and defending the individual cases using X-ray and CT scans in small groups. The hands-on wet lab sessions focus on performing your individual case in a lifelike clinical setting having actual cases and all OR infrastructure like 3D fluoroscopy available. We value your time - you are here for hands-on practice!

Preparation & Follow-up:
"We value your time" is our motto, that's why we want to focus as much on practical & hands-on training as possible and reducing theory to the minimum. That's why we'll send you the X-ray and CT scans of the individual cases upfront so you can arrive prepared.
After the course, your treatment results will be shared and you'll get access to our online expert network where you can stay in contact with the other participants and the faculty to refer back and continue to interact and build your own professional network.
