Description

This AO Trauma Hand NA '3 cases' series is designed to help surgeons focus on the operative procedure(s) that are being discussed during each session and understand the indications, surgical technical steps, pros and cons, surgical pearls and pitfalls, and management of complications. The faculty will consist of a moderator, one faculty, a ‘sage’ and a therapist (when indicated).

The moderator will lead the discussion and the topic will be summarized via three cases.

1. The first case will illustrate the subject matter including the presentation, diagnosis, treatment options and expected outcomes.
2. The second case should illustrate a case of ‘how I do it’ from the sage.
3. The final case will highlight a complication related to the treatment and how to manage it.

Most sessions will also include participation by one of our hand therapy faculty who will provide a hand therapist’s perspective in the postoperative therapeutic management of that particular surgical procedure.
