Scientific evidence increases the quality of trauma surgery. Keeping up-to-date is key to providing better care to our patients

Orthopedic surgery and traumatology is constantly evolving. The volume of information increases exponentially every year and it is impossible to be updated in all areas of the specialty, unless you have a team of experts in different sub-areas that performs this work for the specialist, making an intelligent discrimination of information.

In addition, the current tendency to sub-specialize in a specific anatomical area or surgical technique makes it more difficult to keep up to date in those areas that are less commonly treated and, at times, makes it difficult and costly to keep up to date with the latest developments. It should also be noted that the increase in the average life expectancy is leading to a higher number of degenerative and disabling osteoarticular injuries. 

This Postgraduate diploma allows the specialist to be updated on the latest procedures in orthopedic and traumatologic surgery of the upper limbs.
