Course objectives

This course has been designed to give participants the opportunity to master a variety of techniques for treating traumatic and post-traumatic conditions of the forearm and wrist.

The radius is a pivotal bone – it grants stability to the wrist, but its ability to rotate at both the proximal and distal radio-ulnar joints enables forearm pronosupination. Because this segment is so mobile, a surgeon must know how to restore optimal function after injury.

During the course, we will learn internal fixation techniques for the proximal and distal radius, as well as the radial shaft. Participants will also learn about radial head implants and ligament reconstruction. We will explore a broad spectrum of radio-carpal trauma, including distal radius articular fractures, radiocarpal dislocations, perilunate injuries, scaphoid fractures and nonunions, and intracarpal ligament injuries.

In addition to theoretical sessions, this is a hands-on cadaver lab course: participants will be able to learn a variety of surgical techniques – both open and arthroscopic – and will have the opportunity to reproduce them on cadaver specimens, ensuring a deeply practical learning experience.

The registration fee includes:
Participation in the scientific sessions, anatomical specimens for hands-on activities, catering services during the course, insurance covergae, certificate of attendance, ECM credits, and one social dinner.

In case of rescheduling or cancellation of the course due to reasons attributable to Hinovia and/or AnatomX, participants will be entitled to a refund of the registration fee should they not accept the newly proposed date.

As for travel and accommodation expenses:

Only and exclusively the costs related to travel or accommodation arrangements issued directly by Hinovia on behalf of AnatomX will be refunded in full.

Any travel or accommodation expenses independently arranged by the participants will not be reimbursed by Hinovia for AnatomX. Participants are therefore strongly advised to take out an insurance policy that covers such costs in the event of changes or cancellation of the event.
