Basic Principles of Foot and Ankle Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery for DPMs
September 27-28, 2024
Redondo Beach, CA
Basic Principles of Foot and Ankle Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery for DPMs is jointly provided by ACFAS and AO North America.
Join us for evidence-based lectures, time in the AO skills lab, practical exercises, and small group discussions. Lectures will reinforce key information relevant to the topic discussed. The AO Skills Lab will engage surgeons with hands-on learning of basic principles and practical know-how needed for live surgery. Interactive case small group case discussions will help participants to understand decision-making, management skills, and potential pitfalls. In the practical exercises, participants will be trained in the application of fixation techniques applicable to the foot and ankle.
Before attending the course, participants are expected to review a set of prerecorded lectures (available January 2024) and complete a self-assessment questionnaire and use resources such as the AO/OTA Fracture and Dislocation Classification Compendium at https://classification.aoeducation.org and AO SURGERY REFERENCE
This course is intended for Doctors of Podiatric Medicine in training. Some practicing surgeons may also find this course beneficial.
