An advanced master-level course by AO Trauma focusing on complex surgical approaches to the upper limb using hands-on human anatomical specimens. Objectives • Discuss, apply and integrate principles of assessment and surgical management of upper extremity fractures. • Know the detailed anatomy of common operative approaches with location and arrangement of the important related soft tissue structures • Recognize key associated soft tissue and ligamentous injuries , prioritize their management and understand how these injuries impact treatment planning for complex upper extremity trauma. • Describe the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical approaches and fixation techniques based on the specific needs of each surgery • List common complications associated with complex upper extremity injuries. Discuss strategies for both prevention and management. • Perform the common approaches used in upper limb trauma management with other less common ones used in special situations. • Incorporate postoperative care and rehabilitation protocols , specifically tailored to the conditions discussed, ensuring a comprehensive approach to better recovery Description AO masters courses address the latest techniques and best practices in operative fracture management. This course provides a comprehensive coverage of upper limb surgical approaches: shoulder, humerus, elbow, forearm, and wrist. 3 days course with interactive lectures and small group case discussions to deepen understanding of complex fracture management. A whole day hands-on cadaveric dissection in a wet lab setting for realistic surgical practice. The event consists of faculty-led sessions emphasizing anatomical landmarks, safe dissection, and implant positioning.
