This advanced dissection course, organised by the Foundation for Orthopedic Trauma, provides in-depth anatomical and surgical insight into complex injuries of the upper and lower extremities. The course is aimed at orthopaedic trauma surgeons who want to refine their understanding of surgical approaches, reduction principles, and fixation strategies for challenging periarticular fractures and joint dislocations.
Through cadaver-based dissection and faculty-led discussion, participants explore key anatomical landmarks, soft-tissue envelopes, and neurovascular structures that are critical to safe and effective trauma surgery. The programme emphasises practical decision-making, complication avoidance, and adapting surgical strategy to injury pattern and patient factors.
This course is particularly relevant for surgeons managing complex extremity trauma in high-volume or referral settings.
