Why you should attend:

A world class faculty will present the most advanced techniques for the evaluation and treatment of wrist injuries, ranging from management of initial injuries to reconstruction and salvage of chronic pathology. This intensive three day course features hands-on surgical skill labs, discussion of complex case pathology, surgical approaches and techniques, and direct personal interaction with the faculty. In addition to advances in treatment, the course includes new concepts of the anatomy and radiology of these injuries in a clear and concise format.

Comments from past participants:

"A thorough and systematic approach to these injuries"
"Excellent lab demonstrations"
"Overall a great course"
"Excellent global approach from injury to reconstruction"

Course enrollment is limited to 100 participants.
