Day one of the course is aimed at younger and less experienced surgeons who want to get to grips with the basics of osteotomy and understand how to perform a high tibial osteotomy. This will provide invaluable information to the trainees in preparing for their FRCS and for those surgeons who wants to get to grips with this procedure.
The focus of the day will be short lectures to set the scene followed by a Live HTO demo, discussion sessions to allow delegates to ask questions about each and every aspect of High Tibial Osteotomy surgery.
The course will cover the indications, patient selection and execution of this procedure.
Finally we will show how to fix the osteotomy and plate selection.This will be supplemented by a hands on saw bone work shop which allows delegates to get hands on experience in carrying out HTO surgery
