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.
