Cutting Edge Strategies to Keep Your Patients Active and In the Game

The complex nature of a growing athlete’s knee can be mind-bending! Learn the latest techniques and explore controversies in this surgical skills course dedicated to joint preservation and physeal-respecting approaches.

The course begins with the fundamental principles of a pediatric knee before advancing into cutting-edge surgical techniques. Friday’s schedule covered key pediatric surgical considerations, surgical pearls, and the latest updates from the BEAR Trial, ROCK, FACTS, JUPITER, and more. Expert faculty led dynamic discussions on ACL, LET, Guided Growth, and Patella Instability with Trochlear Dysplasia.

On Saturday, in-person attendees participated in a full day of hands-on skills training in the cadaver lab. Enhance your expertise in Meniscus, ACL, Patella Instability, and OCD procedures with direct, practical experience.

AOSSM provided AI-powered translation technology to offer multilingual access for virtual participants. This ensured a truly global learning experience, enabling surgeons around the world to engage with expert faculty, discussions, and live demonstrations in their preferred language.
