27 Upcoming AO Courses–Davos 2013

The first AO Course was held in Davos in 1960—these early courses pioneered psychomotor techniques by teaching practical skills of AO Techniques. Since those early days over 250,000 surgeons and 135,000 ORP staff from over 110 countries have attended AO Courses—we now launch AOTrauma to move our education to the next level.

AOTrauma Course–Principles in Operative Fracture Management 3

Value statement

AOTrauma is committed to improve patient care outcomes through the highest quality education. We strive to combine the right knowledge and surgical skills that empower the orthopaedic and trauma surgeons to put theory into practice and to improve fracture management for the benefit of the patient.

The AO Principles of fracture management

Early and safe mobilization and rehabilitation of the injured part

and the patient as a whole.

Preservation of the blood supply to soft tissues and bone by gentle reduction techniques and careful handling.

Fracture fixation providing absolute or relative stability, as required by the “personality” of the fracture, the patient, and the injury.

Fracture reduction and fixation to restore anatomical

relationships.

KodiKojimaChairperson AOTrauma Education Commission

NikolausRennerChairperson AOTrauma International Board

Dear AOTrauma course participantWelcome to AOTrauma’s Davos Congress of Courses 2012. AOTrauma provides a wide range of relevant courses and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities all designed to meet your specific pro-fessional needs. We are confident that you will find your course as well as the CPD extracurricular and networking experiences professionally rewarding.

The AOTrauma Clinical Division and the AO Education Institute have a global reputation for innovation, leadership and excellence in Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Continuing Professional Develop-ment (CPD) and are transforming education. AOTrauma is constantly expanding the portfolio of education activities available to you. CME is no longer just about face-to-face courses. Portfolios are being created to address the specific clinical problems that you encounter every day. Keep checking out the AOTrauma home page (www.aotrauma.org) as new assets are being added every week.

The AOTrauma Davos Congress of Courses offers more than just a course experience. Your primary focus is active engagement in your course. However, in addition, we encourage you to:

• Interact with over 320 international faculty; discuss the specific issues you face• Expand your professional network: establish new relationships with colleagues that include faculty and

participants from over 80 countries• Learn about the latest innovations in patient treatment by attending the Technology Innovation Program

(TIP) which offers activities every day• Visit and discuss with staff and surgeons from the AO Foundation’s Clinical Divisions and Institutes. Both

the exhibits in the AOWorld and the “Insight into the AO Center Davos” allow you to learn about the AO’s ongoing activities and the resources available to support you in your clinical work.

• Focus your self-directed learning by attending some of the many CPD activities that will take place every day. • Attend one of the global Webinar broadcasts as a member of the “in studio” audience

All of these CPD activities are part of AOTrauma’s continued efforts to design and deliver innovative con-tinuous learning activities for trauma and orthopedic healthcare professionals resulting in improved health outcomes. You can find the details of all CPD activities in your brochure on EducationalProgramsforIndividualCPD.

Your current level of knowledge, attitudes and skills will be challenged throughout the week. The best-in-class curriculum and faculty will provide you a memorable learning experience that will remain with you for a lifetime.

If you enjoy the experience during this week and would like to stay in touch with the elite AOTrauma orga-nization, we invite you to become a member of AOTrauma. Membership for Medical Doctors (and DO’s) requires only a completed AOTrauma Principles Course and the payment of a reasonable yearly fee (see AOTrauma membership information on the verso of this brochure).


Online precourse self-assessment prepares participants for the course and allows the Faculty to tailor the course to the participants' needs.

Before attending the course, participants are also expected to complete two online modules on bone healing and fracture classification.

The live course is taught in a modular format. Evidence-based lectures cover the key information required. Discussing cases in small groups reinforce understanding of the AO Principles and help participants to hone their decision-making and management skills. In practical exercises participants acquire the necessary skills for the application of various techniques. During the AO Skills Lab participants learn about the principles of fractures and test fracture management options.

After the live course an online postcourse self-assess-ment provides participants with important feedback on how much they have learned.

At the end of this course participants will be able to:

• Understand the concepts of stability, their influence on bone healing, and how to apply implants to achieve

appropriate stability• Plan a treatment based on assessment, imaging, clas-

sification, and decision making• Apply reduction techniques in fracture management

with attention to the importance of soft tissue• Treat fractures using different application techniques• Evaluate and recognize the special problems related to

fractures in the immature skeleton, pelvic injuries, osteoporotic fractures, postoperative infection, and delayed union and/or nonunion

The AOTrauma Course–Principles in Operative Fracture Management is targeted at doctors in surgical training who are interested in furthering their knowledge and skills in operative fracture management.

The AOTrauma Course–Principles in Operative Fracture Management emphasizes basic principles in operative treatment of the most common human fractures based on application of the AO Principles. This course is the initial step along the path of lifelong learning in the area of operative fracture management.

On the road, we cannot see everything, at least not until now. Today, the advanced technology of the new Audi Q5 with Audi side assist includes radar sensors which,within the limits of the system, are able to detect a vehicle – perhaps even beforeyou see it. When changing lanes, these sensors cover the blind spots and alert the driver, by LED indicators on the wing mirror, of the presence of another vehicle considered critical during a lane change. www.audi.com/q5

Detects what you don’tmanage to see.
