The Minnesota Scapula Course 2022

Format: In-Person

This course is planned and hosted by The University of Minnesota Department of Orthopedic Surgery.

A message from the Course Director:

Throughout the past decade, operative treatment of significantly displaced scapula fractures has gained increased awareness within the orthopaedic community. Despite growing awareness, education and training is necessary to provide a high standard of care for these patients.  In advancing our mission, The 2022 Minnesota Scapula Course will be held September 30th and October 1st, 2022 in Bloomington, Minnesota. This  Human Specimen Dissection and Case Study Course will equip surgeons with the knowledge and skills to operate on most scapula fractures they will encounter in practice. The course is highly interactive with only a couple dozen participants by design. In addition to surgical skills, there will be an emphasis on diagnostic assessment and decision-making for the care of injured patients.  All faculty are uniquely experienced and passionate about the treatment of scapula fractures. 

Please register soon as space is limited. Join us in Minnesota for this extraordinary event!
