Event Details
AO Trauma NA Hand Course - Hand and Wrist Fracture Management
Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
This course is designed to teach participants at every level of training and practice to systematically analyze hand and wrist fractures and to apply a treatment methodology based upon fracture management principles rather than upon any one implant, group of implants or singular universal technique.
These AO Principles will be stressed:
- Anatomic reduction
- Stable fixation
- Preservation of the blood supply
- Functional aftercare
- Early mobilization
Enrollment in this course is encouraged for surgeons, hand fellows, and residents in plastic, orthopaedic and general surgery.
This course will be held at: Jersey City Medical Center, Jersey City, NJ

AO North America is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Designation Statement - AO North America designates this live educational activity for a maximum of 8.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Expected results of AONA's CME activities for surgeons, fellows, and residents are to:
• Increase their knowledge base and surgical skill level
• Improve competence by applying advances of knowledge in patient care in the areas of trauma, degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstructive surgical techniques
• Address practice performance gaps by improving management of aspects of traumatic injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., pre-operative planning to post-operative care)
- Differentiate between management of non-operative fractures and fractures that need operative stabilization
- Describe the indications for internal fixation of hand and wrist fractures, and the criteria for implant selection
- Identify alternative fixation methods and their role in fracture management
- Explain the importance of soft tissue preservation in the operative management of unstable hand fractures
