Traumatology and Orthopaedics (RRE_027)
About Study Course
Objective
To train rheumatology residents to understand the surgical treatment options for musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases. To provide knowledge of the role and importance of surgical therapy in the management and rehabilitation of rheumatic diseases, as well as the indications and contraindications for its application.
Learning outcomes
