4th Annual Frontiers in Upper Extremity Surgery


Using a combination of didactic presentations and interactive debates, the expert faculty for this live CME activity will update you on treatment options and outcomes for a variety of both common and complex hand and upper extremity conditions. The first day of the meeting is devoted to a hands-on cadaver lab, where you will practice hand and wrist procedures that involve plating, internal bracing, and arthrodesis. Come to the meeting with the questions you need answered in order to enhance your practice – you’ll have plenty of opportunities to engage with the faculty.
