Course Introduction

Rotation of the elbow, forearm and wrist is essential for patient daily functioning. Problems with rotation following fractures remain a challenge to treat. Therefore, we designed a one-day course with theoretical and practical sessions offering the different interventions of rotation problems in the elbow, forearm and wrist. Plenary theory sessions will be followed by practical sessions aimed at our different participant groups, including cadaver lab sessions and workshops for physiotherapists and brace technicians.

The Essential Rotation course is a one-day course. Please have a look at the schedule below.

FAIR-TRAED

Esser Masterclass introduced a new education principle: FAIR-TRAED (Fair Transparent Education). FAIR-TRAED means that the registration fees are directly invested in the Esser Masterclass educational materials to advance hand surgery trainings. The organisation and the faculty have a passion for hand surgery and support FAIR-TRAED which means that they do not receive any financial compensation. This enables Esser Masterclass to keep the registration fees at a minimum. Our mission is making high-quality handsurgery education accessible for every handsurgeon around the globe and our motto is training form handsurgeons to handsurgeons.
