Primary care, urgent care, emergency room physicians as well as other healthcare providers, are often on the front line in the initial care and management of orthopaedic problems. This course is intended to enhance the attendee’s knowledge base regarding common orthopaedic problems and increase their confidence in managing these issues. This 21st Annual course will provide a complete review of basic principles of orthopaedic care.
