The main goal of the course was to allow orthopaedic surgeons and physiotherapists, from both Greece and abroad, to exchange information and know-how on current methods and trends focused on shoulder pathologies.

Our course comprised lectures from renowned Greek,
European, and American shoulder surgeons that pinpointed all matters related to shoulder disorders. At the same time, 4 live surgical procedures were broadcast in the main hall, showcasing the difficulties faced by the surgeon at the operating table. An extended course on cadavers with current arthroscopic and open techniques took place on the second and third days of the course. Finally, for the first time, the meeting featured a special course for physiotherapists, with a focus on exchanging opinions on the day-to-day practice and handling of patients with shoulder disorders.
The course was held under the auspices of ISAKOS, ESSKA, the SECEC-ESSSE, the Hellenic Association of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, the Hellenic Arthroscopic Association, and the Hellenic College of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
