Learning objectives based on the interpretation and management of proximal humerus fractures:
Diagnostic Precision:
By the end of this session, participants will be adept at accurately identifying and categorizing various types of proximal humerus fractures using appropriate imaging modalities, ensuring timely and effective intervention.
Decision-making Acumen:
Attendees will demonstrate a nuanced ability to discern the most suitable treatment pathway – conservative or surgical – tailored to individual patient presentations, fracture type, and associated complications.
Surgical Proficiency:
For those fractures requiring surgical intervention, participants will gain competency in choosing and executing the most effective surgical techniques, ensuring optimal outcomes and reduced complications.
Rehabilitation Strategies:
Attendees will be skilled in prescribing and overseeing comprehensive post-treatment rehabilitation plans, tailored to the patient's specific needs, ensuring swift recovery and optimal joint function.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration:
By the end of the session, participants will be confident in facilitating multidisciplinary discussions with radiologists, physiotherapists, and other relevant specialists, ensuring a holistic approach to patient care.
These objectives are designed to develop the practical skills and decision-making abilities of attendees, moving beyond theoretical knowledge to hands-on competence in managing proximal humerus fractures.
