Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,

After three successful Master Classes on Surgery of the Spastic Upper Limb in 2019, 2021, and 2022, the format will be modified to a two-level course.

 
 

The BASIC course : 9-11 November 2023

This course is designed for those who want to gain knowledge and practical skills in the treatment of the spastic Upper Limb, with the following program:

• day 1: lectures and teaching
• day 2-3: "hands-on": cadaver lab dissections, botulin toxin workshop, anatomy, clinical cases

This course is designed:

• for Hand Surgeons, Orthopedic, Plastic, and Neurosurgeons who want to gain knowledge and technical skills in surgery of the Spastic Upper Limb.
  “Hands on”: Surgeon participants will practice the main surgical techniques themselves, under the guidance of international experts, and
• for Rehabilitation doctors, Neurologists, Physio- and Occupational therapists who want to increase their skills in Upper Limb Spasticity, and their awareness of the possibilities of the surgical treatment.
  “Hands on”: Participants will be guided through clinical examination, cadaver demonstrations (anatomy and surgical procedures), dedicated lectures, and will practice ultrasounded guided botulinum toxin workshops

Throughout the course, there will be combined sessions with discussions and presentation of numerous clinical cases.

SPECIAL RATES FOR TEAM REGISTRATION: 1 surgeon + two rehab doctors/physio/occupational therapists

The ADVANCED Course: spring 2024

This two days course is designed for surgeons with some previous experience in Surgery of the Spastic Upper Limb, who want to increase their practical skills, and confront their knowledge with international experts.

Surgeons participants will perform all the different types of procedures for the entire upper limb, (hyperselective neurectomies, muscle-tendon lengthening, tendon and nerve transfers, wrist arthrodesis…), including the most recent and sophisticated techniques.

Throughout the course, multiple Clinical Case presentations will trigger discussion with the experts on diagnostic and treatment. BRING YOUR OWN CASES!

We look forward to meeting you in Budapest!
