Advanced Wrist Workshop

Wrist surgery is a fascinating, rapidly evolving and complex area of hand surgery. Wrist fractures, pain and instability are common but often poorly treated conditions which lead to significant morbidity and disability. This course aims to provide core knowledge for those taking higher exams, as well as hands-on experience for surgeons involved in the management of acute wrist trauma and post traumatic pain.
