Welcome to the 2026 Virtual International Residents Course: Africa/Europe organized by the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA). The course will be held virtually via Zoom on November 12th and 13th of 2026.
The 2026 Virtual International Resident Course - Africa/Europe will take place virtually via Zoom throughout two consecutive days. Residents will be pre-assigned into small discussion groups of approximately 15 residents and two expert faculty surgeons per module, based on resident's region and training level.
The topics of the modules include Diaphyseal, Articular, Foot and Ankle, Infection and Complications, Geriatrics, and Pelvis/Acetabulum. During each breakout discussion group session, challenging cases will be presented and participants will have the opportunity to actively discuss the basic principles of fracture management with the guidance of expert international and OTA faculty.
Evidence-based lectures covering key information, including selected videos and power point presentations from international faculty, are available prior to the course in order to prepare the participants for the case discussions. These pre-course materials are an essential part of the pre-course study guide.
Course Program
Objectives:
- Assess the basic principles of fracture fixation with the goal to differentiate absolute and relative stability base on different implants and techniques.
- Design a treatment plan based on physical exam, imaging and application of basic concepts of fracture fixation.
- Identify different techniques for reduction and fracture management through an atraumatic surgical technique.
- Plan initial treatment and management of the polytrauma patient.
- Examine how different implants provide different types of stability and its influence on bone healing.
- Apply reduction techniques with special attention to soft tissues.
The course registration fee is $10 USD.

Taking place in 5 Labs, Tampa on April 15-17, 2027. Orthopaedic trauma surgeons, while trained in arthroplasty during residency, often feel unprepared in practice. The growing trend of outpatient arthroplasty further emphasizes the need for trauma surgeons to handle acute fractures efficiently, enabling early mobilization and minimizing complications related to surgical delays. Register for this three-day hands on cadaveric course today!

Geriatric fractures and periprosthetic fractures are on the rise. Studies highlight arthroplasty as the optimal treatment for specific fractures, including geriatric femoral head and neck fractures, proximal and distal humerus fractures, and distal femur fractures. Additionally, some periprosthetic fractures necessitate revision arthroplasty alongside ORIF to ensure successful outcomes and reduce complications.
Orthopaedic trauma surgeons, while trained in arthroplasty during residency, often feel unprepared in practice. The growing trend of outpatient arthroplasty further emphasizes the need for trauma surgeons to handle acute fractures efficiently, enabling early mobilization and minimizing complications related to surgical delays.
This three-day course is designed to provide trauma surgeons with the expertise to address these challenges confidently.
Learning Outcomes
- Recognize indications for acute and revision arthroplasty in upper and lower extremity fractures.
- Master surgical techniques for primary arthroplasty in upper and lower extremity fractures.
- Apply surgical techniques for revision arthroplasty combined with fixation in fractures.
- Minimize complications in fractures treated with primary arthroplasty and periprosthetic fractures.
Course Highlights
- Expert Faculty: Learn from 10 experienced faculty members, including two renowned course chairs.
- Hands-On Training: Engage in cadaveric labs focusing on upper and lower extremity arthroplasty techniques.
- Case Discussions: Participate in interactive group discussions to explore real-world scenarios and solutions.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Address critical topics such as periprosthetic fracture management, revision arthroplasty, and minimizing complications.
- Collaborative Learning: Work closely with peers and faculty in a dynamic, small-group setting.
