Syllabus
Course Objectives
The course provides students with comprehensive knowledge of orthopaedics and traumatology, focusing on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
The course aims to enable students to:
understand the pathophysiology of musculoskeletal diseases
recognize clinical presentations of major orthopaedic conditions
interpret diagnostic imaging and clinical findings
understand indications for conservative and surgical treatments
collaborate effectively in patient management within multidisciplinary teams
