Course Outline

This course is accredited by the AOA for 14 CPD points.

This is an interactive course involving lectures, case reviews, panel discussion and hands on cadaveric workshops, designed around a small group environment with a faculty of highly regarded specialists in pelvic & acetabular fracture surgery.

The maximum ratio for cadaveric workshops will be 3:1 for delegates to faculty and specimen.

Half torso cadaveric specimens with both legs will be utilised. 

Radiolucent tables with C-ARM X Ray will allow assessment of fracture reduction and fixation.

Topics covered will include indications for surgery, surgical planning and approaches, reduction and fixation techniques as well as discussions around management of complications. Time will also be dedicated to the role and application of percutaneous techniques.

The course is intended for advanced surgeons and trainees interested in the management pelvic and acetabular fractures.

Please note all attendees must have competent knowledge of pelvic and hip anatomy and standard approaches.
