Course Introduction
The treatment of osteo-arthritis of the hand and wrist can be demanding for a hand surgeon. A vast majority of options is available, but selecting the best treatment for your patient can be difficult. Therefore we designed a two-day course with theoretical and practical sessions with surgical procedures that are available for hand and wrist osteoarthritis. The practical sessions will be performed on fresh frozen cadavers with two participants per extremity. The Osteoarthritis course will be organized every 2 years.

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.
