Acute orthopedics Thursday, September 3

Digital live course: Acute Orthopedics

Thursday, September 3, 6-8 PM

What do you do when a patient presents with an acute orthopedic problem? What findings should you react to, and which conditions require urgent discovery?

In this course, you will receive a practical and clinically oriented review of acute orthopedic conditions that require rapid assessment, correct prioritization, and sometimes immediate treatment.

What you will learn

We will cover, among other things:

• Septic arthritis
• Necrotizing fasciitis
• Infected wounds in septic patients
• Purulent tenosynovitis
• Luxations
• Open fractures
• Fractures with affected circulation
• Acute compartment syndrome
• Cauda equina syndrome

The goal is to make you more confident when encountering patients with acute orthopedic problems. You will learn what to look for, which conditions are most urgent, and when the patient needs a rapid orthopedic assessment or acute treatment.
