CourseThe Bone Defect and Infection Management – A State-of-the-Art Cadaveric Course is an advanced surgical training course organised by the British Orthopaedic Association. The course is designed to provide hands-on experience in managing complex cases where bone defects and infection intersect.
The programme focuses on surgical principles including debridement, fixation strategies, defect reconstruction and sequencing of treatment in infection-complicated trauma and reconstructive cases. Cadaveric sessions allow participants to apply techniques in a controlled setting, supported by expert faculty guidance and structured teaching.
This course is aimed at experienced orthopaedic and trauma surgeons seeking practical, skills-based training in advanced infection and bone defect management. It is particularly relevant for clinicians who want to translate conceptual knowledge and algorithms into operative practice through supervised, hands-on learning.
