Courses
A half-day course for anyone enthusiastically (or reluctantly) beginning an SHO-grade attachment in trauma and orthopaedic surgery.
The course will be interactive, engaging and will provide you with the tools and confidence to be competent on your rotation.
On completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Perform a neurovascular assessment of the injured upper and lower limbs
- Diagnose a neck of femur fracture, identify co-morbidities and begin the process of optimising the patient for surgery
- Recognise less common orthopaedic emergencies, specifically, Cauda Equina Syndrome, Compartment Syndrome, Necrotising Fasciitis, Septic arthritis and identify that these require escalation to a senior member of the team.
- Describe basic trauma imaging, including extremity radiographs, trauma CT scans and MRI spines
