With its complex anatomy of bones, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels, the human hand is an essential organ required for day-to-day activities. On the other hand, if treated improperly, hand fractures and acute injuries can upset its delicate equilibrium and cause irreversible harm. Understanding how crucial it is to provide appropriate care in these situations, the Advanced Course on Hand Surgery seeks to provide participants with the information and abilities needed to treat hand injuries properly.

The two-day event is being organized in collaboration with the Indian Society for Surgery of the Hand (ISSH) and the West Bengal Orthopaedic Association (WBOA) and will take place at Medica Superspecialty Hospital.

Dr. Vikash Kapoor, Vice Chairman, Medica Group of Hospitals, Group Director – Orthopaedics, Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon & Arthroscopic Specialist Orthopaedic Science and Dr. Anirban Chatterjee, Senior Consultant, Hand & Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon & Faculty – DNB Orthopedics, Medica Institute of Orthopaedic Sciences, Medica Superspecialty Hospital, shared important details of the workshop.

The course, which is slated to take place on February 24 and 25, will combine didactic lectures, videos that have already been recorded, and interactive discussions that are designed to support adult learning. With the aid of saw bone models and porcine specimens, participants can work hands-on to improve practical skills under the supervision of skilled hand surgeons.

Distinguished guest faculty members include Prof. Bhaskarananda Kumar, Prof. Anil Bhat, and Prof. Sanjay Giri. Throughout the event, a group of knowledgeable hand surgeons from the city will join them to offer extensive instruction.
