Workshop Objectives

Enhancing knowledge: Provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of knee & ankle pathology, including common knee conditions, diagnostic techniques, and the latest advancements in surgical management.

Developing surgical techniques: Teach participants advanced surgical techniques for knee pathology, such as arthroscopic procedures, ligament reconstruction, meniscal repairs, and osteotomy with additional discussion of cartilage restoration. Focus on refining their skills and improving surgical outcomes. Bonus sessions on the latest sports-specific ankle techniques are also lined up.

Improving decision-making: Help participants develop the ability to make informed decisions regarding patient selection, surgical approaches, and postoperative care for knee pathology. Emphasize the importance of evidence-based medicine and clinical judgment.

Addressing emerging trends and technologies: Discuss the latest advancements in knee surgery, such as minimally invasive techniques, computer-assisted navigation systems, robotic-assisted surgery, and regenerative medicine. Familiarize participants with these technologies and their potential benefits.

Incorporating rehabilitation and postoperative care: Provide participants with an understanding of the importance of postoperative rehabilitation and long-term management for knee pathology. Discuss rehabilitation protocols, pain management strategies, and optimizing functional outcomes.

Promoting continuous learning: Encourage participants to embrace a culture of lifelong learning and professional development in the field of knee pathology. Introduce resources for further education, including conferences, workshops, journals, and online platforms.
