Hands-on learning for hand professionals

Are you ready to enhance your understanding of hand biomechanics and gain unparalleled insights into surgical procedures? Our courses offer therapists and surgeons the chance to explore essential anatomical demonstrations on cadavers, focusing on the biomechanics of the hand during injuries and surgical interventions, the effect of common thermoplastic splints on the repaired structures, and the dissection of pedicled flaps.
