Introduction to the Program

A través de esta Postgraduate diploma, conocerás las vanguardistas técnicas para tratar la fractura del escafoides de forma menos invasiva y más cómoda para el paciente” 

Las lesiones ligamentosas y las fracturas producidas en distintas zonas de la muñeca y de la mano han requerido, usualmente, largos y dolorosos plazos de recuperación para el paciente sometido a una intervención quirúrgica. Por ello, en los últimos años, se han desarrollado vanguardistas técnicas artroscópicas de reducida invasión que permiten abordar estas patologías con la máxima precisión y causando el mínimo impacto. Gracias a esto, no solo se agiliza el proceso postoperatorio, sino que se contribuye positivamente a aliviar los dolores de los individuos. Fruto de ello, los especialistas deben incorporar en su práctica diaria estos avances para optimizar su puesta al día profesional.

Ante esta situación, TECH ha apostado por crear este programa, que habilita al médico para conocer las técnicas más actualizadas en el abordaje de las Wrist and Hand Fractures. Durante 6 intensivos meses de estudio, será capaz de profundizar en la reciente evidencia científica con respecto al tratamiento conservador y quirúrgico de la fractura del escafoides o de las luxaciones del carpo. Asimismo, ahondará en los actualizados métodos para manejar las fracturas metacarpianas y de falanges del pulgar.

Gracias a que esta titulación se desarrolla por medio de una revolucionaria metodología 100% online, el alumno obtendrá la posibilidad de gestionar a su antojo su propio tiempo de estudio para alcanzar una actualización efectiva. De la misma manera, dispondrá de completos recursos didácticos elaborados por especialistas en Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología, quienes ejercen activamente sus funciones en centros hospitalarios de primer nivel, siendo expertos en el tratamiento de lesiones de la mano. Por ende, todos los conocimientos que asimilará estarán en sintonía con la evolución del sector.

En adición, un reconocido Director Invitado Internacional impartirá unas exhaustivas Masterclasses que otorgarán a los especialistas competencias clínicas avanzadas.
