Our Hand Trauma course is a highly interactive hands-on course that is structured to meet the needs of surgeons training in Plastic or Orthopaedic Surgery. Participants will learn the surgical techniques for dealing with hand trauma, with emphasis on soft tissue injuries, including tendon repair, flap reconstruction and bone fracture fixation.
The course format includes practical skill sessions using fresh frozen cadavers. The specimens are well preserved and closely simulate the clinical situation. With a faculty to participant ratio of 1:2 this course represents excellent value for money. |
