INFORMATION

Aim of course:
  • Addressing aspects that you feel unsure of, or uncertain about, after Basic or Advanced framing courses.
  • Revision of certain crucial aspects about TL-Hex frame application.
  • Ability to apply a TL-Hex frame for tibial fractures / non-union / malunion and correctly cross over from the frame, to x-rays and subsequently to the computer program (dry bones / x-ray simulations / patients)
  • Patient pre-operative evaluation and assessment / application of frame in OR / correct x-ray technique / post-operative planning / cheat sheet population and input / TL-Hex software including Hex-Ray
  • We will also discuss the more complex frames eg. femoral and ankle equinus correction

AT THE END OF THE TRAINING COURSE THE DELEGATE WILL BE COMFORTABLE WITH ALL ASPECTS OF BASIC TL-HEX APPLICATION AND CORRECTION

We the faculty: Sean Pretorius, Nando Ferreira and Gian du Preez use these powerful ring fixators extensively in our different scopes of practice and you will find that we agree to disagree on almost everything concerning these fixators and their use.

This will lead to heated discussion and interaction between us and you, the delegates! I feel that this is how it should be, as this gives you, the delegate, the option to decide what would suit you best.

We would like to acknowledge and express our gratitude to Orthofix and Ortho-Xact for their contribution to the AOTC that enabled us to host this course.
