Details

Session 1: Elbow Fracture Dislocations Learning Objectives: Describe current concepts of fracture dislocations of the elbow with a focus on identifying injury patterns, surgical approach and repair techniques; Demonstrate a sound and rational approach to surgical decision making as it relates specific injury patterns; Describe the clinical evidence to support different repair strategies and possible implications of each. Session 2: Distal Humeral Fractures Learning Objectives: Describe prognostic factors, including fracture characteristics and fracture patterns; Review the current evidence for operative or non-operative management of DHFs, demonstrate an approach to treatment decision making and understand expected outcomes; Describe possible surgical complications related to ORIF, Hemi arthroplasty and TEA for fractures, and an approach to their management. Session 3: How to Approach the Unstable Elbow Learning Objectives: Review clinical assessment and examination of these injuries; Apply treatment decision making with reference to prognostic factors and biomechanical evidence; Describe the rationale and techniques of soft tissue/ligament repair.
