- know how to propose an adequate surgical approach to correct a certain disease of the immature skeleton, muscles and tendons, and the eyeball attachments;
- perform a surgical approach for orthopedic and joint surgery;
- correctly close a surgical approach;
- know how to apply an osteosynthesis plate in neutral function, support, bridge and dynamic compression;
- know how to propose an appropriate postoperative follow-up to the surgical approach.

Teaching Methods
The flipped pedagogy will be, whenever possible, the approach used. Various didactic supports will be made available to students, and students should propose integrated and duly substantiated solutions to the clinical problems and focused on the skills to be acquired by the student. Practice of techniques on cadavers or models, participation in surgeries within the scope of the skills to be acquired.
Attendance to a minimum of 75% of theoretical and practical classes is mandatory.
Continuous evaluation:
Theoretical: two moments (MT1 and MT2).
Practice: three moments (MP1, MP2 and MP3).
Final classification: (MT1 + MT2) / 2 x 0.5 + (MP1 + MP2 + MP3) / 3 x 0.5, only if MT1> 10 values and MT2> 10 values, and (MP1 + MP2 + MP3) / 3> 12 values.
Evaluation by final exam:
Theoretical and Practical: approves with a minimum classification of 10 values.
Final classification: T x 0.5 + P x 0.5.
