Event Details
AO Trauma NA Course - New England Regional Fracture Summit
Stowe, Vermont, USA
The New England Regional Summit is a discussion forum where nationally prominent local trauma experts interact with community-based orthopedic surgeons who are actively involved in the treatment of patients with fractures.
This informal, almost entirely discussion-based Summit is highly interactive with clinical presentations that include:
· Tips, tricks, and techniques on how the faculty tackle clinical problems.
· Frank confidential discussions about how to manage cases “on the fringe of normal” – a routine case that isn’t going normally.
· Complications and frustrations of the experts and how they dealt with them.
Each session incorporates an alternating case presentation-discussion format followed by participant case presentations. There will be an opportunity to explore state of the art equipment with practical lab demonstration(s).
ALL participants are strongly encouraged to bring personal cases for discussion to optimize their personal experience and involvement - you will personally get more out of this course as a result.
