AOTrauma Course Pelvic and Acetabular Fracture Management page 2 of 22 The first AO Course was held in Davos in 1960 these early courses pioneered psychomotor techniques by teaching practical skills of AO Techniques. Since those early days over 250,000 surgeons and 135,000 ORP staff from over 110 countries have attended AO Courses we now launch AOTrauma to move our education to the next level. Content Floor plan Value statement The AO Principles Dear AOTrauma course participant Goal of the course Target participants Learning objectives Course description Chairpersons Faculty Course organization Sunday, December 6, 2015 Monday, December 7, 2015 Tuesday, December 8, 2015 Wednesday, December 9, 2015 Thursday, December 10, 2015 Friday, December 11, 2015 Course logistics Course venue Business center Wireless network Course information Exhibitions AO Research Institute Davos (ARI) Sponsors Upcoming AO Courses Davos 2016

AOTrauma Course Pelvic and Acetabular Fracture Management page 3 of 22 Dear AOTrauma course participant Welcome to AOTrauma s Davos Courses 2015. AOTrauma provides a wide range of relevant courses designed to meet your specific professional needs. We are confident that you will find your course as well as the networking experiences professionally rewarding. With a global reputation for innovation, leadership, and excellence in Continuing Medical Education (CME), the AOTrauma Clinical Division and the AO Education Institute are transforming education. AOTrauma is constantly expanding its portfolio of educational activities available to you. Continuing Medical Education is no longer just about face-to-face courses. Portfolios are being created to address the specific clinical problems that you encounter every day. Visit the AOTrauma home page (www.aotrauma.org) as new assets are being added every week. The AOTrauma Davos Courses offers more than just a course experience. Your primary focus is active engagement in your course. In addition, we encourage you to: Interact with over 300 international faculty and discuss the specific issues you face Expand your professional network by establishing new relationships with colleagues that include faculty and participants from over 80 countries Visit and speak with staff and surgeons from the AO Foundation s Clinical Divisions and Institutes. Both the exhibits in the AO World and the Insight into the AO Center Davos allow you to learn about the AO s ongoing activities and the resources available to support you in your clinical work Your current level of knowledge, attitudes, and skills will be challenged throughout the week. The best-in-class curriculum and faculty will provide you a memorable learning experience that will remain with you for a lifetime. If you enjoy the experience during this week and would like to stay in touch with the elite AOTrauma organization, we invite you to become a member of AOTrauma. Membership for medical doctors (and DO s) requires only a completed AOTrauma Basic Principles Course and the payment of a reasonable yearly fee.

AOTrauma Course Pelvic and Acetabular Fracture Management page 4 of 22 Goal of the course The AOTrauma Course Acetabular and Pelvic Fracture Management aims to convey to experienced participants an understanding of the initial evaluation, stabilization, and definitive treatment of patients with fractures and dislocations of the pelvic ring, acetabulum, or both. The AO Principles as well as the latest techniques and up-todate evidence will be incorporated into the course, guiding participants in developing the knowledge and skills needed to treat these injuries and improve patient outcomes. Target participants Participants must be fully trained orthopedic and/or trauma surgeons with subspecialty interest in the treatment of pelvic and acetabular fractures. They must have already completed the AOTrauma Courses Principles in Operative Fracture Management and Advances in Operative Fracture Management. Course objectives At the end of this course participants will be able to: Define key elements in the initial evaluation of pelvic and acetabular fractures Classify pelvic and acetabular injuries and recognize the implication for treatment Apply emergency treatment and stabilization techniques for pelvic ring injuries and initial management of acetabular fractures Demonstrate appropriate decision-making strategies Define indications and apply surgical approaches to the pelvis and acetabulum Specify indications and perform techniques of internal and external fixation Course description Surgeons participating in this course will learn how to address the severely injured patient in an emergency situation, how to evaluate, diagnose, and classify pelvic ring and acetabular injuries, and determine appropriate timing and indications for interventions. They will be able to apply knowledge and skills in selection and performance of the surgical approach for specific injuries and definitive reconstruction of complex fractures. A faculty of world experts will cover key concepts of pelvis and acetabulum diagnosis and treatment in six modules. Simulation exercises including dissection of anatomical specimens will expose participants to the essentials of the surgical approach and related anatomy. Artificial bone model practicals will give participants experience in the application of different reduction and fixation techniques. All concepts will be expanded and reinforced in interactive group discussions, emphasizing the diagnosis, evaluation, indications, treatment modalities, decision-making processes, and complications.
