REGISTRATION FOR NON-POLISH PARTICIPANTS HERE
Treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis remains a significant therapeutic challenge. Current surgical options include total ankle replacement (TAR) and ankle fusion. In appropriately selected patients, TAR may provide preservation of joint motion, improved functional outcomes and high patient satisfaction.
During this intensive cadaveric course, the international Faculty will present key aspects of patient selection, preoperative planning, surgical techniques and the management of complications associated with total ankle replacement.
Participants will gain hands-on experience with two leading contemporary 4th-generation TAR systems implanted through the anterior approach, supported by clinical evidence demonstrating excellent outcomes.
The course is led by experienced and certified international foot and ankle surgeons whose expertise is based on extensive clinical and surgical practice.
Each participant will have the opportunity to perform the procedure independently. One cadaver specimen per participant is guaranteed.
Maximum hands-on experience, expert knowledge exchange and the opportunity to discuss your own clinical cases. Participants are encouraged to bring cases for discussion with the Faculty.
We look forward to welcoming you to Warsaw for this intensive cadaveric training course.
