Recorded online course - 9th Annual Hand and UE Conference: the Ulnar Wrist
The ulnar side of the wrist can be confusing and complicated. View this one day recorded course which focuses on injuries to the ulnar wrist with focus on the TFCC and the ECU. We will start with a live surgical dissection with Dr. Conrad Hamilton where he will walk us through anatomy on a cadaver wrist. Throughout the day, we will view arthroscopic surgical interventions with Dr. Hamilton’s explanations and instructions. We will learn provocative testing, orthosis ideas and treatment progressions with Lori Lingle Elling and Sybil Hedrick Park.
The first 30 minutes of the course is a presentation by Steelhead surgical on the latest research and products. This information does not qualify for continuing education credit, but will supplement the remaining course content.
