autografts and allografts.

Optional Half-Day Hip Arthroscopy Session: The
Sunday session featured a Hip Arthroscopy session

including lectures as well as cadaver demonstrations
on hip arthroscopy by expert surgeons.

The wet and dry cadaver workshops were extremely
well conducted. The number of persons allotted

to the cadaver was appropriate and allowed each
person enough time to arthroscope the joints and

perform the various techniques being taught. It was
organized keeping in mind the attending members

were young orthopaedic surgeons at the start of their
career and was hence extremely useful.

Again we would like to extend our gratitude to

ISAKOS and the hosts for giving us such opportunity
to learn the latest advancements in articular cartilage

treatment, restoration and repair.
