With TECH you will update your knowledge in Fractures and Pathology of the Shoulder Girdle and about the phylogeny, embryology and ossification of the shoulder"

Because of their shape and anatomical position, scapula fractures can be challenging to treat. Nevertheless, ongoing research in the field of Traumatology and Orthopedics has allowed the development of new techniques and approaches, as well as the study of improved methods of rehabilitation and postoperative management. For this reason, keeping up to date with these advances ensures that doctors can offer their patients the best possible treatment, optimizing results.

Faced with this reality, TECH has designed this program that allows the professional to experience an update on Fractures and Pathologies of the Scapular Belt. In this way, the specialist will deepen in dysplasias affecting the Shoulder, Obstetric Brachial Palsy and Shoulder Infections. They will also delve into Proximal Humerus, Clavicle and Scapula Fractures.

In addition, thanks to the scientific literature provided in this program, the graduate will be updated on the latest scientific evidence on the use of shoulder prostheses, primary osteoarthritis and traumatic complications in shoulder arthroplasty.

Likewise, this program offers flexibility, which will allow the professional to access it at any time and place. In addition, this program integrates the Relearning system in its methodology, which will allow you to remember the most relevant concepts in less time. All of this is accompanied by a series of multimedia materials stored in an online library with unlimited access during the course of this postgraduate diploma.
