Topics in Hand Surgery-Fellowship Debate Series Wrist Arthroscopy: What You Should Know and Pearls From The Masters

Description

In this virtual debate led by Jeff Yao, the 2020-2021 class of Hand Fellows is welcomed to explore the intricate realm of wrist arthroscopy. Initiated in March amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, this innovative education platform aims to enhance fellowship education and foster collaboration across institutions. The opening remarks reflect on the transition from traditional face-off debates to an introductory session focused on learning, featuring expert faculty who will dive into pivotal topics concerning wrist arthroscopy, including TFCC pathology and treatment strategies.



The session details the lineup of esteemed professors, including Dr. Osterman from the Philadelphia Hand Center, Dr. Goldfarb from Washington University in St. Louis, and Dr. Kakar from Mayo Clinic, who provide insights on wrist arthroscopy techniques. Participants engage in a rich discussion regarding the evolution and significance of wrist arthroscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool.



Throughout the talk, attendees are encouraged to actively participate, share knowledge, and engage with subsequent discussions scheduled for every fourth Thursday of the month. The webinar emphasizes the importance of using advanced imaging techniques like MRI in correlation with arthroscopic findings, underscoring the need for rigorous clinical examination skills among fellows.



As the session concludes, the faculty offers pearls of wisdom, highlighting the critical role of wrist arthroscopy in distinguishing hand surgical practices and emphasizing continuous learning and surgical competency. HandE is applauded as a valuable resource, with an invitation extended to further explore and utilize the educational materials available through the platform. This event not only sets the groundwork for a year of learning but fosters a collegial environment where fellows can grow into skilled hand surgeons proficient in wrist surgeries.
