TexFix is the rebranding and continuation of UT Health San Antonio's International External Fixation Symposium (IEFS) which was held annually for 15 years. Now, TexFix is bigger and better, just like Texas! TexFix focuses on teaching surgeons of all experience levels the principles of external fixation in the foot and ankle while adding the flavor of the Texas culture. Home of one of the oldest podiatry residencies and fellowships in the US, UT Health San Antonio's expert faculty are renowned for their expertise in Charcot foot reconstruction and management of foot and ankle trauma. TexFix courses contain didactic and practical experiences with cadaveric specimens and are optimal team building exercises.
