Zurich Hand Courses
Master anatomy and precision in bone fixation of the hand and wrist.
The management of hand and wrist fractures has evolved considerably with advances in fixation technology and a better understanding of wrist biomechanics.
This two-day Hand and Wrist Osteosynthesis Course provides a structured and practical approach to modern fracture treatment. The program combines focused lectures with extensive hands-on cadaver dissections.
Key topics include fracture patterns, indications for operative versus conservative treatment, principles of stable fixation, and restoration of anatomy and function. Expert faculty demonstrate essential osteosynthesis techniques, followed by supervised hands-on practice in small groups.
Dissections are performed on latex-injected, formalin-free specimens in collaboration with the Institute of Anatomy, ensuring excellent tissue quality and a realistic surgical experience.
The course emphasizes practical decision-making, implant positioning, and avoidance of common technical pitfalls. By the end of the course, participants will have gained practical experience with essential fixation techniques for hand and wrist fractures and will be able to apply them with greater confidence in clinical practice.
Join our intensive surgical training focused on osteosynthesis techniques for hand and wrist fractures. Through focused lectures, expert demonstrations, and supervised cadaver dissections, this course is designed for surgeons who wish to strengthen their understanding of fracture patterns, fixation strategies, and surgical decision-making in hand and wrist trauma.
Perform key fixation techniques on high-quality, latex-injected cadaver specimens under expert supervision. Each procedure is demonstrated step-by-step and practised directly at the dissection table.
The small group format ensures continuous faculty presence, allowing close guidance, discussion of indications, and practical technical tips throughout the hands-on sessions.
Learn reliable fixation strategies and decision-making principles for managing fractures of the hand and wrist — immediately applicable to everyday trauma practice.
