Most surgical device training teaches you how to use the instrument. It covers insertion technique, instrument sequencing, and what the end result should look like on imaging. What it frequently skips is the anatomical context that makes the difference between technically correct and clinically excellent. A surgeon who understands not just the steps of a […]
