We are excited to introduce the first of four lessons for our teaching series in Edinburgh. Lesson 1, Orthopaedic Emergencies, focuses on the theoretical foundations of managing time-critical conditions. This session will provide an overview of key emergencies, their pathophysiology, and initial management strategies, covering:

Spinal cord compression & cauda equina syndrome
Compartment syndrome
Compound (open) fractures
Nerve injuries
Septic arthritis (native & prosthetic joints)
Necrotizing fasciitis

Location: Chancellors Building, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

Time: 11:00 – 12:00

Format: In-person (recorded for online access at a later date)

This session is ideal for medical students seeking to enhance their understanding of orthopaedic emergencies and their urgent management. Don’t miss this opportunity to build a strong foundation before moving on to the practical aspects in later sessions.

Summary

Join us for the first lesson in our BOMSA Orthopaedic Masterclass Teaching series. Lesson 1 will be on Orthopaedic Emergencies sessions, where we'll delve into the theoretical foundations of managing time-critical conditions.
