Course Outline

This is an interactive course involving lectures, case reviews, panel discussion and hands-on cadaveric workshops, based in a small group environment with a faculty of highly regarded specialists in pelvic & hip surgery. The maximum ratio for cadaveric workshops will be 3:1 for delegates to faculty and specimen.
Laboratory sessions will cover fracture fixation techniques, implants and plating.
Full cadaveric specimens will be utilised.
Radiolucent tables with C-ARM X-Ray will allow accurate fracture reduction and alignment.
Topics from multiple exposures of the pelvis & hip to alternative techniques of complex fracture management and fixation will be covered.
The course is intended for advanced surgeons and trainees interested in the management of hip and pelvic injuries.
Please note all attendees must have competent knowledge of pelvic and hip anatomy and standard approaches.
