COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course will focus on fractures around the elbow, and many aspects will be treated,
including a step-by-step description of the surgical approaches of the distal humerus; the
radial head and the coronoïd process; as well as the different types of olecranon osteotomy
and their repair procedures. Focusing on technical tricks and pitfalls, the course also
covers the different options for fracture management in routine and complex elbow injuries.

 

In addition to lectures, hands-on cadaver workshops allow participants ample opportunities
to improve their skills on approaches and fracture fixation. In small discussion groups, participants
can present and discuss their most difficult cases with experienced international
faculty members.
