AOTrauma Course—Advances in Operative Fracture Management
Online preparations: November 1–December 10, 2011
Course: December 11–16, 2011 Davos, Switzerland
Online follow-up: December 17–31, 2011
Lecture hall: Davos
Dear AOTrauma course participant We have the honour to welcome you to the AOTrauma Course—Advances in Operative Fracture
Management run by the AOTrauma Specialty! We hope you will enjoy your course and the entire experience.
What is AOTrauma? We are the "clinical division"—a community for Trauma and Orthopaedics within the AO
Foundation. As an AO Specialty we aim to integrate and align applied and clinical research, education, and
community development functions into one direction—AOTrauma for the benefit of our members,
stakeholders, and patients.
How AOTrauma benefits you? By working as a single team we will focus and better leverage our resources,
expertise, and skills to create and deliver new and greater value to our members.
What does this mean in education? AOTrauma is committed to providing you the best possible educational
experience by continuously embracing and introducing new educational techniques to help you learn and
more effectively implement your knowledge for the benefit of your patients.
Why join AOTrauma? Joining AOTrauma means you are part of the ―Trauma & Orthopaedic‖ community
within the AO. AOTrauma will help you develop lifelong friendships and relationships; we will help you access
our ―knowledge network‖ and get involved in new opportunities that advance trauma care.
Yours sincerely,

PS: Your experiences with us, over the next few days, will result in the realization of new and meaningful
knowledge, skills, and understanding that we hope will translate into improved patient care.
The first AO Course was held in Davos in 1960—these early courses pioneered psychomotor techniques by
teaching practical skills of AO Techniques. Since those early days over 250,000 surgeons and 135,000 ORP
staff from over 110 countries have attended AO Courses—we now launch AOTrauma to move our education
to the next level.

Goal of the course The AOTrauma Course—Advances in Operative Fracture Management teaches current concepts and fundamental
principles in the treatment of complex injuries incorporating the latest techniques in operative fracture
management.
Target participants
The AOTrauma Advances course is targeted at surgeons at the threshold of becoming an independent surgeon
and taking over decision making responsibility for the treatment of complex injuries.
It builds upon the AO Principles and techniques learned in the AOTrauma Principles Program making it necessary
for participants to have already completed the AOTrauma Course—Principles in Operative Fracture Management.
They also must be actively involved in trauma management.
Course objectives
Upon completion of this course participants should be able to:
Apply reduction techniques in fracture management with attention to the soft tissue
Assess and treat complex fractures utilizing advanced application techniques
Demonstrate strategies for assessing and treating open fractures and soft-tissue injuries and manage the
polytrauma patient
Evaluate, classify, and formulate a treatment plan for pelvic injuries and acetabular fractures
Recognize complications and manage accordingly
Course description
Online Pre-course self-assessment prepares you for the course and allows faculty to tailor the course to your
needs.
Before attending the course, you are expected to complete an online module on reduction techniques.
The course will be taught in a modular format. Each module consists of several evidence-based lectures, which
will cover the key information required. Case-based lectures will promote interactivity between faculty members
and course participants. In practical exercises participants will be trained in the application of various techniques.
Discussing cases in small groups will help participants to understand decision-making and management skills.
Optional sessions on patient positioning are offered over lunch and in the evening.
As a participant, you can also bring your own cases, which will be discussed with faculty.
After the course an online post-course self-assessment will provide you important feedback on how much you've
learned.
