Clinical Orthopedics and Traumatology (qualifying activity)
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with the knowledge to understand the physio-pathological bases, the clinical manifestations, the diagnostic procedures, and the therapeutic strategies (pharmacological, orthopaedic, surgical, and rehabilitative) of the most important pathologies of traumatic, metabolic, degenerative, infective, neoplastic, and congenital origin, involving the musculoskeletal system.
Expected learning outcomes
The students are able to.
i) identify the symptoms, collect the signs, request the diagnostics examinations, and suggest the therapeutic strategies finalized to a correct diagnosis and treatment of the principal musculoskeletal pathologies;
ii) understand and use the specific terminology used in the diagnosis of trauma and in the descriptions of the surgical procedures used in orthopaedics;
iii) evaluate the disability due to these pathologies and suggest a rehabilitative approach.

The lessons of the first semester from 21 September to 4 November 2020 were held in mixed mode:
in the classroom with a limited number of students, who have booked using their unified e-mail credentials through the "lessonsUnimi" app (https://www.unimi.it/it/studiare/frequentare-un-corso -degree / follow ...) and at the same time synchronously through the "Teams platform" for students not present; the lessons were also video-recorded to allow students unable for documented needs to follow them in sync.
From 5 November 2020 to 15 January 2021, face-to-face lessons have been suspended as per the Rector's Decree. Teaching continued remotely: the lessons were delivered through the Microsoft Teams platform, mostly in synchrony, almost always respecting the calendars approved for the current semester.
The lessons of the second semester will start in early March 2021 and will probably take place in mixed mode, with booking through the dedicated app, following the rules adopted in the first semester: in safety, in compliance with hygiene rules, with the use of PPE and observing the spacing.
