Learn a wide variety of fracture repairs using both internal and external fracture fixation techniques
This online course will teach you a strong understanding of the principles of fracture repair initially, and the pros and cons for different patients.
Then move through varying techniques such as DCP and SOP™ plating moving into external-fixation later on.
About this course
This course discusses many of the topics and subjects surrounding plate osteosynthesis - understanding the biomechanics of fractures, how they occur, the different types of fractures we commonly see and most importantly how we can repair them.
The presentations are in-depth in terms of theory but also demonstrates practical applications
