Ligament Reconstruction Seminar
Sapporo, JAPAN
The 13th Ligament Reconstruction Seminar and Live Surgery seminar was held at the Hokkaido University Faculty House “Enreisou” in Sapporo, Japan on July 19 – 20, 2018. This course was sponsored by the Department of Advanced Therapeutic Research for Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery at Hokkaido University Faculty of Medicine and Graduate School of Medicine. The president of this course was Prof. Eiji Kondo.
The course, which was attended by 20 participants,
consisted of one day of theoretical lectures and one day
of live surgical demonstrations at the Yagi Orthopaedic
embers Onl
Hospital. Theoretical lecture topics included the
fundamentals of knee ligament reconstruction (e.g., the
clinical and biomechanical bases for reconstruction, basic
techniques, arthroscopic anatomy, and so on). The surgical
demonstrations included observation of anatomic double- bundle ACL reconstructions in an operating room, during which participants had opportunities to ask various questions to the instructors. Overall, this was a valuable opportunity for all participants and faculty to increase their knowledge of ligament reconstruction. Following the course, all participants received an ISAKOS-approved certificate of completion. The organizers thank ISAKOS for their support and for their acceptance of this seminar as an ISAKOS- Approved Course.
