Foundation for Orthopedic Trauma Upper and Lower Extremity Dissection Course

The Foundation for Orthopedic Trauma Upper and Lower Extremity Dissection Course is a two-day educational programme organised by the Foundation for Orthopedic Trauma (FOT North America). Held at FIVE Labs in San Diego, the course is designed for PGY2–4 orthopaedic residents and focuses on surgical approaches to the upper and lower extremities through anatomical dissection.

Participants develop their anatomical understanding and technical skills in a practical laboratory setting under faculty guidance. The course supports the safe and confident performance of surgical exposures used in upper- and lower-extremity trauma care.

The course is particularly suited to orthopaedic residents seeking focused, practical training in extremity surgical approaches. A resident scholarship opportunity is available.
