The Wednesday conference (5-6 pm) rotates between fracture conference, fracture skills lab and journal club.

  • Fracture Conference (twice monthly): This is an informal time to review common fractures, classifications, and treatment protocols.  This conference is lead by the resident on the trauma service.
  • Journal Club(one monthly): This is our monthly meeting of residents, attendings,  and research staff to discuss the latest publications across all subspecialities.
  • Fracture Skills Lab (once monthly): A monthly gathering in the SIU skills lab to learn and review fixation techniques and principles on sawbones and cadavers.  Throughout the year we will review most of the major fracture patterns including: proximal humerus, both-bone forearm, proximal femur, tibial plateau, distal radius, as well as the application of external fixators.
