This access course focuses on the dorsal approaches to the forearm and hand, emphasizing surgical techniques for precise exposure of the underlying structures. Participants will practice key steps for incision, tissue handling, and access to critical anatomical areas, including the dorsal wrist and hand structures. Using real specimens, residents will refine their skills in these approaches, gaining experience in ensuring safe and effective exposure for various upper extremity procedures.

To support their preparation, participants gain access to the Augmedi E-Learning platform upon registration. With photorealistic 3D models and an AI-powered learning engine, they can explore anatomical details interactively and track their progress for optimal hands-on training.
