Educating orthopaedic surgeons with AO Trauma

As part of his role at The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, Mr Kosuge provides orthopaedic trauma services aimed at treating patients who have sustained injuries and fractures affecting their upper and lower limbs. Whilst Mr Kosuge enjoys elective hip surgery and knee surgery, he also enjoys looking after patients who have broken their bone(s). During his trauma duties, he performs surgery to fix broken bones affecting various parts of the body and he finds this variety stimulating.

In recognition of this and his educational interests, Mr Kosuge is extremely proud to have been a member of faculty at the recently run AO Trauma Blended Course - Basic Principles of Fracture Management held in Leeds, UK. This was his second time at this annually held national course which is aimed at educating trainee orthopaedic surgeons. Mr Kosuge enjoys being involved in the training of orthopaedic surgeons in the work setting on a daily basis but also finds fulfilment in teaching on more formal platforms such as this.

Mr Kosuge hopes to have a long career with AO Trauma and with the education of future orthopaedic surgeons.
