Course Description
 
 

 

The 9th Annual Boston Orthopaedic Trauma Symposium continues the dynamic dialogue of contemporary surgical and non-surgical management of fractures. This conference is designed for practicing orthopaedic surgeons, fellows, and residents who desire an update in surgical techniques for managing simple and complex fractures involving the musculoskeletal system. This conference offers opportunities to listen to internationally renowned experts in fracture management, examine surgical choices and associated clinical outcomes, and observe surgical demonstrations. The dynamic mix of lectures, discussions, cadaveric dissections and workshops is designed to promote collegial interaction.

 

 

Target Audience
 

Orthopaedic surgeons, fellows, residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, orthopaedic nurses, and other healthcare professionals.

 

 

Objectives
 

Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:

  • Strategize the management of fractures based on fracture type and patient factors.
  • Examine controversial surgical choices in fracture repair, weighting potential advantages and caveats.
  • Assess clinical outcomes/studies and the potential impact on patient management.
  • Evaluate surgical techniques and device application as demonstrated by faculty.
  • Demonstrate surgical techniques on sawbone models as a prelude to incorporating them into live surgery.
