1) Knowledge of the biomechanics of the most common traumatic finger injuries. 2) Understanding of the classification and grading systems used by orthopedic surgeons for traumatic finger injuries. 3) What the orthopedic surgeons need in imaging interpretation to guide effective management.  

1) Review the relevant anatomy of the fingers using multiple imaging modalities including radiographs, CT, MRI, and 3D modeling. 2) Illustrate the common mechanisms of traumatic finger injury, utilizing 3D modeling and animation. 3) Review the most commonly encountered osseous and soft tissue injury patterns seen in traumatic finger injuries. 4) Describe the classification systems of finger injuries most commonly used by orthopedic surgeons. 5) Case based review of common traumatic injuries in multiple imaging modalities.
