This two-day course will focus on the understanding of biomechanical principles of the fracture management, bone healing, appropriate diagnostic steps, decision-making and limitations of internal fixation. The practical part will cover application of basic orthopaedic implants (screw, intramedullary pin, wire, plates), open fracture reduction and stabilization of uncomplicated fractures (e.g. diaphyseal femur, tibia, radius, metacarpus/metatarsus).
