New Trends and Techniques in ACL Reconstruction
(Why, When and How)
Webinar
Dear colleagues,
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, is one of the most common procedures in orthopaedics. However, post-operation failure or knee instability is quite common and we should keep in mind that this injury mainly affects young and athletically active patients.
New techniques, new views on the role of meniscus and ALL lesions are added daily to our therapeutic quiver to increase the success rates of this operation.
This is the exact purpose of this webinar. To present you these new trends and new techniques in order to improve our knowledge and our surgical technique in dealing with this common injury.
Greek and foreign speakers, well known in the global arthroscopic community have been selected to present their own technique and experience on this complex problem.
We are expecting you on April 14, to share with us your questions and views in our effort to perfect the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The Webinar is conducted in English, is free for all participants and will be followed by a discussion on dealing with "special" cases.
