Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology have undergone a spectacular development in recent years. Advances in molecular biology, biomaterials of cell cultures, imaging diagnostic and minimally invasive techniques have come together to offer new possibilities in the management of patients. 

The volume of information increases exponentially every year and it is impossible to be up to date in all areas of the specialty unless you have a team of experts to do this work for you: an intelligent discrimination of information. In addition, the current tendency to subspecialize in one anatomical region or surgical technique makes it more difficult to keep up to date in those areas that are not routinely treated. 

This postgraduate certificate offers a detailed review of the most relevant advances in Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of the hand and forearm from an eminently practical point of view, to update the specialist through the latest educational technology.
