We invite you to participate in a cadaveric training course held at the Medical Education Center, in a state-of-the-art laboratory simulating real operating room conditions. Under the supervision of experienced instructors, participants will have the opportunity to practice surgical procedures on fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens.

During this hands-on cadaveric workshop, participants will perform:

• Diagnostic knee arthroscopy

• Anterolateral and anteromedial portals

• Meniscectomy

• Synovectomy

• Loose body removal

• Meniscal suturing techniques: outside-in, inside-out, and all-inside

• Posterior knee compartment access techniques

A limited number of participants (working in two-person teams) ensures an almost individual learning experience. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to consult with instructors beyond the official curriculum.
