AO Trauma NA Fireside Series: Working Through Fracture Problems Together

Conversations covering the spectrum of anatomic regions and related problem fractures for practicing surgeons.


Description

Designed to serve the needs of surgeons 2-10 years in practice, the AO Trauma NA Fireside series will provide a pragmatic review of current best practices, effective surgical approaches, and tips and tricks to address the challenges of region-specific problem fractures and maximize patient outcomes.

Each ninety-minute session was created in collaboration with a group of practicing surgeons across North America.

The Fireside series emphasizes and encourages interaction with experts in the field. Participants can submit cases and/or share their perspectives on diagnosis, treatment, and management of fractures, and in turn receive input and feedback from AO NA faculty.
