Take the next step in advancing your arthroscopic surgical skills through an intensive two-day learning experience focused on practical execution and real-world techniques. This workshop combines expert-led scientific sessions with extensive hands-on cadaver laboratory training, covering ACL, MPFL, Meniscus Root Repair, Labral Repair, Rotator Cuff Repair, and Biceps Procedures.
With 75% of the program dedicated to hands-on training, participants will gain valuable experience in portal placement, reconstruction techniques, fixation strategies, implant handling, and surgical decision-making. Join leading orthopaedic professionals in a focused learning environment designed to enhance confidence, precision, and clinical outcomes in knee and shoulder arthroscopy.
Biomechanical realignment and joint preservation represent the cutting edge of modern sports medicine and joint care. This unique, multi-disciplinary workshop seamlessly combines advanced arthroscopic strategies with High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) protocols. Designed for surgeons focused on delaying or avoiding total joint replacements, this course provides comprehensive, hands-on exposure to combining soft-tissue ligamentous reconstruction with structural bony realignment.
Master medial opening-wedge HTO planning, precise osteotomy cutting, and rigid plate fixation to treat unicompartmental osteoarthritis.
Combine joint realignment protocols with arthroscopic meniscal and cruciate ligament repairs.
Hands-on training in arthroscopic rotator cuff anchoring, margin convergence, and glenohumeral instability management.
Learn the exact radiological, alignment, and clinical selection criteria to maximize HTO and arthroscopy success rates.
Orthopaedic surgeons specializing in joint preservation, sports medicine experts, and reconstructive surgeons interested in advanced osteotomy and joint-sparing techniques.
