Gain the upper hand with techniques to take back to your clinic, in this webinar on hand and wrist conditions and traumas. We discuss an array of ailments from Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Mr Ali Shafighian’s area of specialty, which your patients will be likely to present with. Though they may be common conditions and injuries, complications could occur, and this webinar ensures that you are equipped to deal with all scenarios.
Don’t let your patients’ conditions get out of hand, book on now!

In the first half of this webinar, we examine hand and wrist conditions such as:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Simple and complex Dupuytren’s Disease or contracture
- Thumb arthritis
We refresh your memory on the pathologies, anatomy and incidence of such conditions. For instance, that the prevalence of Dupuytren’s Disease ranges from 0.2-30%, varying widely with geographical location, due to genetics, environment, or a combination of both, and is more common in men than women. These conditions can cause pain, swelling, decreased strength and range of motion, making it difficult to do simple tasks, such as turning doorknobs and opening jars. We identify the signs and assessment techniques for each condition so that an accurate diagnosis can be made. We also look at management options, such as rehabilitation exercises, needle fasciotomies, medications, splints and surgery if necessary.
In the second half, we analyse traumas such as:
- Mallet Finger
- Wrist Sprain
- TFCC Injury
Traumas such as these are common in sports injuries, or simply from falls, bumps and bashes. Ensure you fully understand the aetiologies, nuances and assessment of the conditions so that your patients can receive the right treatment for their problem. For example, if left untreated, mallet finger can lead to a swan neck deformity from PIP joint hyper extension and DIP joint flexion. Most mallet finger injuries can be managed conservatively, but occasionally surgery is recommended for an acute or a chronic mallet finger or for failed prior treatment. Therefore, we discuss when surgical and non-surgical approaches are appropriate for each injury and the latest options available.
Schedule:
Part 1: Hand & Wrist Conditions
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Simple and complex Dupuytren’s Disease
- Thumb (and finger) arthritis
Part 2: Hand & Wrist Traumas
- Mallet finger
- Wrist sprain
- TFCC injury
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the pathologies and assessment techniques for each condition
- Learn differences and nuances in treatment options at each stage of the problem
- Expand your knowledge on non-surgical and surgical rehabilitation – when to refer onward
