HIP AND HINDLIMB SURGERY

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.

Fracture repair of the pelvis?
