Angular Limb Deformities

This two-day course will focus on the understanding of basic principles of CORA based correction of limb deformity, mostly using internal fixation. The practical part will cover correction of common deformities affecting the elbow joint, the distal antebrachium and femur.  Surgical templates will be provided to allow for comparison between eyeballing and template-based corrective osteomy.

Day 1: 

09:00-11:00 Theoretical introduction: ´´Assessment of limb deformities and planning of corrective osteotomy´´

11:00-11:15 Coffee break

11:15-13:00 Dry-Lab: Evaluation of limb deformities on x-ray

13:00-14:00 Lunch break (lunch included)

14:00-15:00 Theoretical introduction: ´´Quantification and correction of radio-ulnar step formation”

15:00-17:45 Wet-Lab: Surgical approach and osteotomies of the ulna and radius

Day 2:

09:00-11:00 Theoretical introduction: ´´Carpus valgus deformity´´

11:00-11:15 Coffee break

11:15-13:00 Dry-Lab: Approach and acute correction of an antebrachial limb deformity on specific saw bone models

13:00-14:00 Lunch break (lunch included)

14:00-15:00 Theoretical introduction: ´´Limb deformity of the distal femur´´

14:00-16:45 Wet-Lab: Surgical approach and corrective osteotomies of the distal femur

The lectures will be conducted in English, while discussions and supervision will be offered in either English or Slovak, depending on the preferred language of the attendee.
