AO Trauma START hand module online
Example of an interactive hand case featuring surgeon Paul Binhammer
AO Trauma has released the long-awaited publication of the AO Trauma Surgical Training and Assessment for Residents (START) hand module, the first 2021 addition to the learning hub for residents.
In the module, authors Paul Binhammer (Canada), Kyle Bickel (United States), and Terry Axelrod (Canada) address injuries such as proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint fracture dislocations, acute scaphoid fractures, and the Bennett fracture of the thumb, to name a few, as well as different fixation techniques.
After months of work, and an unexpected halt in the production phase due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these three clinical experts in their field present five interactive, video-based case discussions as well as several multiple-choice quizzes and self-assessment activities, ranging from basic to complex levels.
The content is aligned with the learning objectives defined in the AO Trauma Residents Education Program.
