Orthopaedic conditions of the hind limbs are extremely common. Which are the best and most effective options for your patient?

Covering hip and hind limb orthopaedic cases from diagnosis to post-operative care, this two-day workshop will allow you to immerse yourself in hip dislocation, hip dysplasia, femoral head and neck fractures, iliac and sacroiliac fractures, complex femoral fractures, and tarsal instability. With specialist educators and tutors helping you in small-group practical labs, you will develop your confidence in approaching these cases in practice. This practical workshop will build your skills, and could also be a useful adjunct to preparations for membership examinations.

Do you struggle with…

Fracture repair of the pelvis?
Appropriate fixation techniques for the tarsus?
Hip luxation management?

What if you could attend a workshop specifically designed to help you build your knowledge and skills in hip and hindlimb fractures and management?

You’ll have plenty of wet lab and hands-on practical sessions to build your skills in fracture repair, FHO, and so much more. In addition, you will have high quality implants and equipment at your fingertips. Surrounded by well-known specialist educators, get ready for two days of practical learning, in world class facilities. You will leave feeling confident, motivated, and ready to book in future fracture surgeries.
