Only a handful of places remain for our orthopaedic surgical wet labs in Melbourne this July!
🟠
Day one, surgical management of ligament and tendon injuries.
Day two, long-bone osteosynthesis using interlocking nails
🔗 https://www.fourlimb.com.au/workshops/
🟠
Learn the principles of surgical management of ligament and tendon injuries using UHMWPE synthetic implants. Learn how these basic principles can be applied to restore function to almost any strain or sprain injury with case reports and publications. Discover the opportunity for arthroscopic treatment of CCL deficiency and the surgical management of multi-ligament stifle trauma. Practise surgical repair techniques including common calcaneal tendon rupture and coxofemoral luxation
🟠
Learn the principles of Interlocking Nail (ILN) osteosynthesis. With both biological and mechanical advantages over plates ILNs are the gold standard for long bone osteosynthesis in humans. Intramedullary insertion lends itself to minimally invasive approaches, with preservation of soft tissues and vascularisation of the periosteum. Their alignment with the anatomical axis of the bone provides mechanical strength in compression, flexion and torsion.
