| Course Description |
|
This workshop will provide an exploration of the cannulated headless compression screw system, covering its design, materials, and surgical applications. Participants will gain valuable insights into the indications for these implants, including elbow condylar fractures, ununited anconeal process (UAP), and hip procedures. The course will cover anatomical approaches to the elbow and hip, as well as preoperative planning considerations. Participants will also engage in practical hands-on learning and demonstrations to refine surgical skills in a realistic setting. The session will conclude with a discussion on potential complications, along with expert tips and tricks to enhance surgical outcomes. This workshop is designed for surgeons looking to expand their expertise in orthopedic fixation techniques using headless compression screws. |
