Browse Hierarchy ICM7065: Open Fractures and Orthoplastic Surgical Care

This module will focus on the multi-specialty management of open fractures, from pre-hospital care to definitive ortho-plastic surgical treatment. It will provide you with a deep knowledge of how open fractures can be treated by a combined, collaborative approach between surgical disciplines, from the emergency room, to first debridement and then definitive fixation and soft tissue cover. We will discuss skeletal stabilisation and soft tissue reconstruction in detail, including decision-making around implants and choice of grafts/flaps for covering skin defects.
