18th EFORT Annual Congress in Vienna – Easy Evidence Updates of the Lower Limb
Click Here to Manage Email Alerts
The main objectives of this high-value generic educational program to be presented during the upcoming EFORT Congress in Vienna are to cover key orthopaedic developments and to give attendees professional standard updates in a given anatomical area.
The Easy Evidence Updates (EEU) session should therefore provide educational material in the form of generic and specific skills knowledge and attitudes combining best evidence with experiential learning to enhance professional practice and allow an easy review of some common conditions (e.g., proximal humeral fractures) in a specific territory (e.g., upper limb). For the 2017 edition of the EEU, the program will focus on the lower limb essentials. Clinical case presentations raise the question “What would you do?” to set the context for extensive exchange with the audience and drive the discussion toward the new concepts and procedures that have appeared in the last 5 years for diagnosis and treatment of the lower limb’s most common conditions. At the end of the session, a best evidence review on femoroacetabular impingement, a key complication found in the hip joint, completes this rapid overview.
The target audience for this scientific program consists of established orthopaedic practitioners wishing to update and maintain standards and orthopaedic surgeons in training who seek educational material at the level of an orthopaedic exit exam (EBOT or national).
