Basingstoke Osteotomy Course

The Basingstoke Osteotomy Course is a course designed to provide experienced orthopaedic surgeons with advanced training in the use of modern techniques and instruments to perform osteotomies. Osteotomies are surgical procedures that involve the passing of instruments and blades through bones to correct deformities and correct alignment issues. Instructors provide students with hands-on experience performing the procedures on cadavers, as well as in an operating room. The course is taught over six days by an experienced faculty consisting of distinguished orthopaedic surgeons. Instruction includes lectures, case presentations, and hands-on workships. Lectures topics include the history and science of osteotomies, preoperative planning, intra-operative techniques, and postoperative considerations. The course also covers the use of navigation, navigation-aided techniques, and image-based navigation and sampling. The course is beneficial to orthopaedic surgeons of various practice levels and offers participants the opportunity to learn and practice using state-of-the-art instruments and techniques. Course participants leave the course with a comprehensive understanding of how to properly plan and execute an osteotomy, as well as a personal portfolio to review. Additionally, participants receive a Certificate of Completion. The Basingstoke Osteotomy Course is an ideal way for orthopaedic surgeons to refine their osteotomy technique and update their knowledge on modern instruments and techniques. The course is offered in the UK, in partnership with the University Hospitals of South Manchester.
