Welcome to the 7th edition of Open Tibia Spain Course. This course is focused on the management and treatment of open tibia fractures from an orthoplastic point of view. The aim of this course is to update the knowledge and state of the art of the treatment of these fractures, to provide useful information in order to improve the care of these complex injuries in an interactive way , combined with the practice of different orthopaedic and plastic surgery procedures in the cadaver lab.
The course is directed to consultants and senior registrars (Trauma and Plastic surgeons) with a special interest in the treatment of fractures, and more specifically open fractures.
Because of the COvid-19 situation, this year the course will be run by local faculty and the official language is Spanish.
