THESSALONIKI PAEDIATRIC TRAUMA COURSE
Thessaloniki January 3rd, 2022
Dear Colleagues,
Dear Friends,
Appropriate evaluation and correct treatment of fractures in skeletally immature patients are mandatory to avoid complications and late consequences.
The variety and heterogeneity of injuries of the immature musculoskeletal system requires specific education and training.
The European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society (EPOS) is proud to support the ‘Thessaloniki Paediatric Trauma Course’ in order to cover this very important and peculiar field.
The course is aimed at Orthopaedic and Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeons, Residents and Fellows who want to improve or refresh their knowledge in paediatric traumatology.
Teaching faculties are composed of internationally recognized experts in children’s orthopedics, with special interest in paediatric traumatology, from all over Europe.
The course includes lectures, debates, techniques, case discussions and workshops concerning treatment and complications of fractures and injuries.
We warmly invite Orthopaedic and Paediatric – Orthopaedic Surgeons, Residents and Fellows to Thessaloniki, Greece, on 16-18 June 2022 at The Met Hotel.
We will do our outmost to meet and exceed your expectations!
Yours sincerely,
