Description:

This interactive course is in movie format. This is a mixed level learning course teaching the clinician how to treat fractures of the upper extremity. All of us treat fractures of the upper extremity but until now have never had a detailed course dedicated to treatment of them. This is the most comprehensive course on upper extremity fracture management that you will ever see. The course covers the following: Shoulder, elbow, forearm, distal radial ulnar joint, carpals, metacarpal, proximal phalanx, middle phalanx, and distal phalanx fractures and everything in between! Surgical videos are included to allow the viewers to understand how the surgical intervention affects what we do clinically. Many x-rays are reviewed to enhance the understanding. Clinical treatment pearls and red flags are taught. You will learn when to move and when to rest fractures and lots more. Instructional methods include: lecture, demonstration, PowerPoint presentation, and patient video clips, surgical videos and an additional learning section that can’t be beat. (Includes an 87 page downloadable manual) Note: This course provides conceptual preparation to seek additional training, and does not provide you a mentored hands-on skills session. Please seek additional experience, with a mentor, to perform hands-on skills. Upon Successful completion of the examination (75%) your certificate will be sent via email.
