Recognising and Dealing with Compartment Syndrome
This 1 hour webinar will help surgeons at every level recognise and manage Compartment Syndrome in orthopaedic trauma. It is aimed particularly at trainees interested in completing the Critical Condition case base discussion for their Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). Trainees can contact Neil Billingham at AOUK&I to be matched with a suitable faculty member (first come, first served.). It will then be up to the trainee to arrange a suitable virtual assessment via FaceTime,Zoom, Skype etc. For those who are unable to secure assessment with an AO faculty member, they should request assessment with a local educational or clinical supervisor.
