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.

About the Program

In high-energy trauma and complex structural reconstruction, precision and stability are critical. The Auxein Trauma & Deformity Correction Workshop is a specialized educational course designed to address the challenges of long-bone fractures, malunions, and multi-planar structural realignments. Through expert-led lectures and comprehensive sawbone/bioskills laboratory training, delegates will master modern intramedullary nailing entries, locking mechanics, and corrective osteotomy workflows.

Why Attend?

Intramedullary Nailing Mastery
Deep dive into trochanteric, retrograde, and antegrade femoral and tibial nailing entry points and distal locking techniques.

Practical management of complex diaphyseal and metaphyseal fractures under simulated high-stakes conditions.

Step-by-step approach to multi-planar osteotomies, axis planning, and applying rigid stabilization devices.
Learn to select the ideal implant mechanics to prevent non-unions and facilitate early weight-bearing.

Who Should Attend?

Trauma surgeons, general orthopaedic consultants, and clinical fellows managing acute skeletal trauma, non-unions, and congenital or post-traumatic limb deformities.
