Paediatric Trauma and Limb Reconstruction

Module code: ICM7066

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM2

Contact: Dr Kyle James

This is a optional module that will focus on the pathophysiology and spectrum of paediatric orthopaedic injuries, along with the assessment and structured approach to limb deformities in both adults and children.

The module will provide students with a deep knowledge of the evidence and controversy around common paediatric fractures and the fundamental basic science behind growing bones and injuries to them. It will also give students a structured approach to quantifying post-traumatic limb deformity and then analysing how that can be corrected using an array of powerful implant choices. There will also be an opportunity for practical application of all these skills.
