Overview

The event will begin with an evening welcome reception on Friday followed by a full-day program on Saturday.

The Precision in Practice course is a must-attend event for surgeons specializing in hand & wrist and/or foot & ankle care. This program features case discussions and explores treatment controversies in two distinct tracks: a Hand and Upper Extremity Track and a Foot and Ankle Track. Led by expert faculty, each track covers current trends and emerging solutions in extremity care.

Attendees are welcome to move between the tracks, allowing for a flexible learning experience along with the opportunity for hands-on cadaveric practice in Mobile Labs.

Open to practicing orthopedic surgeons, traumatologists, and extremity specialists, this course is an excellent opportunity to enhance expertise or explore new areas in extremity care.

Target Audience

This course is open to all practicing orthopedic surgeons, traumatologists, and extremity specialists looking for exposure to the most recent developments in orthopedic fracture care and reconstruction. We encourage participants of any specialty to dive deeper into their areas of expertise or venture into adjacent indications.

Please note: Participation is limited to surgeons currently practicing in the United States.
