Program Spotlight: Traditional and Surgical Biomechanics

At The Western, we begin on solid footing.

Traditional Biomechanics: Back to the Basics focuses on the foundational principles that guide decision-making before surgery and improve outcomes when surgery is necessary.

Surgical Biomechanics: Step by Step builds from that base, walking through operative application in a clear, methodical way—linking biomechanics directly to surgical planning and ex*****on.

Two connected tracks. One powerful clinical foundation.

Advance registration ends April 1.
