We are pleased to invite orthopaedic surgeons to an intensive two-day cadaveric course dedicated to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, designed to provide a strong practical focus and a direct translation of knowledge into everyday clinical practice.

Wojciech Widuchowski, and also dr Juliusz Dec, dr Maciej Bień, dr Magdalena Syrek. The program combines current anatomical, biomechanical, and clinical concepts with extensive hands-on cadaveric training, conducted in small working groups (2 delegates for each cadaver workstation) to ensure a high level of interaction with the instructors.

The practical sessions are complemented by focused lectures covering ACL injury prevention, postoperative rehabilitation, graft selection in primary and revision ACL reconstruction, graft healing and remodeling, as well as a practical demonstration of clinical knee examination.

Why attend?

• Strong emphasis on hands-on cadaveric training
