• Training in basic Hip & Knee Arthroplasty.
• Didactic lectures, case discussions, live surgery demonstrations.
• Saw bone workshops, cadaveric hip & knee stations with hands-on.
• Fresh frozen bodies with lively feel & operating room simulation.

• Presentations, tips and tricks by senior surgeons about their favoured instruments and preferred implants.
• Learn about proximal humerus plates, scaphoid fixation systems, back-up instruments to buy before you start practice, dependable cements for arthroplasty, biocomposites for bone healing and much more.
• Hands-on workshops to understand the subtle differences between implants from different companies.

• Listing basic instruments needed for various surgeries and knowing why some are preferred over others.
• Understanding the nuances of local and imported implants (comparing apples with apples).

Delegates should be able to use the knowledge gained during the course to;

• Buy instruments that are essential, worthwhile and cost-effective.
• Select and use implants in a prudent manner on a case-to-case basis.

• Cadaveric workshop on fresh frozen cadavers with hands-on learning of the posterior, anterior approaches such as Kocker Lagenbeck, Ilio-inguinal, Ilio-femoral, Sub-inguinal, Stoppa’s approach, Ganz osteotomy with Safe surgical dislocation of the head.
• Saw bone workshop to learn column screw, external fixation of the pelvis, ilio-sacral screws, posterior column plating and acetabular wall fixation.
• Live surgical demonstration (Depending on availability of cases)
• Video presentations
• Instructional lectures
• Case discussion
• Panel discussion

• Classify pelvis and acetabulum fracture and to decide regarding acute and definitive management.
• Choose proper surgical approach.
• Get acquainted with instrumentation and methods to use it.
• Discuss the prevention and management of complications.
• Analyze the literature regarding outcome of pelvis and acetabular fractures.

• Day 1: Imaging workshop, lectures on basics of acetabular fracture and management of simple fracture patterns, saw bone workshop, instrumentation workshop
• Day2: Live surgery, management of complex acetabular and pelvic fracture patterns, saw bone workshop, panel discussion, prevention and management of complications of pelviacetabular fractures
• Day 3: Hands-on cadaveric dissection

• Day 1: Dealing with Principles of fixation and Pediatric fractures.
• Day 2: Upper limb fractures.
• Day 3: Lower limb fractures.
• Day 4: Spine and Pelvi-acetabular fractures.

• The course is about learning the basic concepts for the understanding and treatment of deformities.
• It is not about using a fixator or particular implant for the correction of deformities.
• Terms and concepts such as Mechanical Axis vs Anatomic Axis, CORA, LDFA, MPTA, etc. will become clear after this course.

• Describe the axes and angles in a normal lower limb
• Plan a simple diaphysial deformity
• Plan a simple metaphyseal deformity
• Plan a Multiapical deformity with the concept of a 3rd line
• Discuss advantages and disadvantages of various implants in a given case
• Create a surgical tactic to carry out the plan.

• Introduces the JESS System and its versatile uses.
• Teaches delegates the techniques for use of JESS fixators in various clinical conditions like – Hand Injuries, Trauma of the upper and lower limb, Acquired Deformities – congenital, burns and post trauma, Congenital Deformities like CTEV, Genu Valgum, Cubitus Varus, Coxa Vara etc. Training covers lectures, operative sessions and demonstrative workshops.
• JESS is a simple technique which is advantageous to many candidates especially those dealing with basic orthopaedic problems at all levels.
• It is a viable treatment option for a patient population which has osteoporotic bones and comminuted fractures. It is particularly useful to surgeons who work under constraints especially those in rural areas.
• Versatility ranges from its use as a temporary / definitive fixation device in fractures with soft tissue and vascular injuries to its use in definitive correction of acquired limb deformities and congenital malformations.

• Active hands on experience on patients every day as well as workshops. Delegates will be actively assisting the Operating surgeon.
• Delegates will be able to use the JESS system in their practice of orthopaedics with confidence and understanding immediately after the course.
