2015 ISAKOS CONGRESS WRAP UP
Watanabe Arthroscopy Travelling Fellowship
The Masaki Watanabe Arthroscopy Traveling Fellowship was named for Dr. Masaki Watanabe, who developed the first device for minimally invasive surgery. The arthroscope was developed based on his original ideas and formed the basis for arthroscopic surgery today. The Masaki Watanabe Arthroscopy Traveling Fellowship Award is intended to provide funding for two young arthroscopic surgeons from developing countries to travel to several medical centers and learn more about the current practice of arthroscopic surgery from well-respected experts in the field. At each site, the fellows will have an opportunity to observe arthroscopic surgeries, discuss surgical procedures, patient management, and research in the various fields of arthroscopy. The knowledge learned by the traveling fellows can then be taken back to their respective countries to improve patient care and advance the local teaching of arthroscopic surgery.
