Course Summary: This enduring material is focused on the surgical treatment of fractures of the distal radius. Experienced faculty will present on tips and tricks for different methods of fixation as well as management of associated soft tissue injuries and common complications. We will conclude with a discussion of post-operative rehabilitation protocols and appropriate screening and treatment for underlying osteoporosis. Case-based scenarios and lively discussion will be encouraged. This program is essential for residents, fellows, and new practitioners, but seasoned surgeons will also find pearls essential for their practices!
