What are the advantages in Modern Orthopaedic Medicine?

We avoid "artificial hypercomplication" and "wishful thinking" procedures in orthopaedic medicine, perhaps too frequently seen in our profession, instead we prefer to focus on relevant and reliable clinical reasoning procedures and qualitative research.

During our course modules we focus on following aspects :

where necessary, there is a specific, practical, anatomical recapitulation
features of the specific and general history
inspection, functional examination, palpation and accessory examination
how to interprete all test movements
how to reach a diagnosis / differential diagnosis
how to work with the standardized Cyriax Orthopaedic Assessment Form
how to determine a treatment strategy - clinical reasoning procedures
orthopaedic manual therapy (Cyriax) treatment techniques : transverse friction massage, manipulation, traction, mobilization, injection, infiltration
recapitulation sessions by using moc clinics, clinical recapitulation schemes, multiple choice questions, true-false questions and practical recapitulation of examination and treatment procedures

The orthopaedic medicine "3 steps plan"

For what is concerned the execution of treatment and examination techniques we always follow the "3 steps plan" :

first we explain the procedures through the powerpoint presentation
then a demonstration on film
followed by practical life demonstration on a colleague

Then sufficient time is provided for practical exercise. We promote regular exercise and partner change. Practice makes perfect !
