EFORT Webinar | 3D SURGICAL PLANNING OF TIBIAL FRACTURES: FROM ACUTE SETTING TO CORRECTION OF POST TRAUMATIC DEFORMITIES
Monday 28 September 2026 | 19:00-20:00 CEST | Free-of-charge online registration

This EFORT Educational Webinar, organised by the Trauma Education Group (TEG) of the EFORT Education Committee, will focus on the application of 3D surgical planning and patient-specific techniques in the treatment of tibial fractures, from the acute setting to the correction of post-traumatic deformities.

Through clinical cases, the webinar will demonstrate how 3D technology can support diagnosis, surgical planning, intraoperative guidance, and deformity correction. The objectives of this webinar are to:

  • Understand the principles and indications for 3D surgical planning in acute tibial plateau fracture surgery.
  • Recognise the role of 3D technology in the correction of post-traumatic malunions and non-union of the proximal tibia.
  • Learn how patient-specific guides and virtual planning can improve surgical accuracy and facilitate complex reconstructions.

This Free-of-Charge Webinar is organised by EFORT independent of any commercial educational support.
