International Trauma Symposium
18 to 20 August 2010
This well-established annual meeting updates senior orthopaedic surgeons in new trauma philosophies and techniques. This year's topics include damage control surgery, open fractures, distal tibia and foot fractures, and distal radius and carpal fractures. The successful format of small group discussions, demonstrations and hands-on sessions will be maintained and delegates will be able to discuss a range of related topics with a faculty of international and national experts. The meeting will be particularly useful for consultants approaching revalidation in orthopaedic trauma.
All delegates will receive a book from the Orthopaedic Surgery Essentials series.
Attendance counts for 18 hours CPD.
