This is a recording of the live/virtual 10th Annual Hand Conference on October 28, 2022.

This well-received, high-demand course is back for the tenth year. Our unique format provides a diverse and intense delivery of research- based clinical knowledge to help participants better understand surgical procedures and expert post-operative orthosis fabrication and rehabilitation for the radial carpal and central carpal injuries.

One board certified and highly regarded orthopedic surgeon will give live surgical demonstrations using fresh frozen cadaver specimens. Two experienced hand therapists will provide an overview of anatomy and kinematics, provocative testing and up to date, evidence-based treatments. This course will be a basic to intermediate education, interactive opportunity for clinicians to observe anatomy and surgery interventions, learn provocative tests and gain a broader understanding of the interface between surgery and therapy.
