“In my experience, the tibial fracture is the most common fracture,” says Dr. Umaru. “If these patients are not treated properly, they are at risk of amputation.”
This training module will teach orthopaedic surgeons and medical officers on how to handle this common fracture. The Discovery Award will help the team assess how their 3-D bone simulation model can provide orthopaedic training.
