9th Basic Biomechanics in Orthopaedics (BBiOrth) course
Category: Foundation - Other
Date: June 6th 2015
Location: The Royal Society of Medicine, The Royal Society of Medicine, London W1G 0AE
The aim of the course is to introduce and explain core biomechanical principles in orthopaedics. The material is covered by a range of speakers, who are keen to relate the theory to surgical examples. The faculty includes orthopaedic registrars and consultants as well as a radiology registrar. Many of the faculty members have a higher postgraduate degree in addition to the surgical diplomas.
The course is delivered over one day with a mixture of lectures and small group break out sessions. The participants are divided according to their level of training. After attending the course, the participants should feel more confident about their understanding of the loads encountered in the different parts of the musculokeletal system and how the commonly used orthopaedic implants 'work'. The course is awarded 6 CPD by The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
