Make plans to join us for the 2022 8th Annual Frontiers in Upper Extremity Surgery, November 4-5, 2022, at FIVE Labs in Tampa, Florida.

This course is designed to provide an evidence-based update on the management of a variety of common and complex disorders and injuries of the hand, wrist, and elbow.

NEW THIS YEAR: Hands-on bioskills lab on both days of the course – 5 hours total!

Through didactic lectures, case-based presentations, and panel discussions, the expert faculty for the 2022 8th Annual Frontiers in Upper Extremity Surgery will cover a variety of essential topics, including:

  • Tendon repair, reconstruction, and rehabilitation
  • Technical tips for difficult cases, such as fixation of metacarpal and phalanx fractures
  • Release options for carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel nerve compression
  • Old school techniques versus new approaches for CMC joint arthroplasty
  • Evaluation of injury patterns common to elbow trauma

Ample time has been allotted during each session to provide attendees an opportunity to ask the faculty questions. So, be sure to come to the meeting with the questions you need answered to help enhance your practice!

Attend In Person or Virtually
