AO Trauma Course - Foot and Ankle Trauma and Reconstruction with Anatomical Specimen (Jun 12 - 13, 2024)

AO Trauma Course - Foot and Ankle Trauma and Reconstruction with Anatomical Specimen is organized by AO Foundation and will be held from Jun 12 - 13, 2024 at Erasmus MC SkillsLab, Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands.

Description:
Surgeons participating in the course will concentrate on the application of surgical planning and advanced techniques in the management of complex foot and ankle injuries. The course will be taught in a modular format. In practical exercises and anatomical specimen workshops, participants will be trained in the application of different techniques and approaches. Discussing cases in small groups will help participants to understand decision-making and management skills. The course will focus on a biomechanical and biological approach to apply in fracture treatment in rare conditions as well as common conditions, pitfalls, clinical tricks, and means to avoid complications.

Goal:

• The overall goal of this course is to refine decision-making in the treatment of foot and ankle injuries, through discussion sessions on all foot and ankle injuries.
• The cadaver dissection time will hone the common well-known surgical approaches and allow the delegate to see areas/ approaches that will elevate their practice from advanced to master.
