A unique and well-structured course using specially crafted anatomical animal bone constructs to learn and practice hand fracture fixations.

This course is aimed at all levels for Plastic Surgery & Orthopaedic trainee surgeons and Foundation Year trainees. Over the 2 days the aim will be to familiarise and gain confidence in strategy, stabilisation and fixation of all hand fractures.
