Course Introduction

Hand fractures, are the most common fractures of the body. And are therefore often presented on the emergency department. Proper management at initial evaluation of hand fracture injuries can prevent a significant amount of morbidity and disability. Every hand surgeon should have a comprehensive knowledge of hand fracture management. Esser Masterclass Fractures is designed to improve the hand fracture management for hand surgeons. The practical sessions will be performed on fresh frozen cadavers with two participants per extremity.

At our dedicated cadaveric workshop facility we have availability for 24 participants at 12 workstations. Each station will have a pre-fractured cadaveric specimen throughout the course.

Fractures in each specimen include:

  • base middle phalanx fracture (intra-articular)
  • transverse middle 1/3rd of middle phalanx fracture (extra-articular)
  • oblique fracture proximal phalanx (extra-articular)
  • 4th Metacarpal neck fracture (distal, extra-articular)
  • 5th Metacarpal base fracture (proximal, extra articular)
  • Scaphoid waist fracture
  •  

    X-ray and CT imaging is available for each of the fractures for pre-operative planning.

    The final, detailed course program and faculty members will be confirmed soon.

    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.
