We would like to express our deep gratitude to the ISAKOS Committee for selecting and giving us this great opportunity to participate in the highly valuable Masaki Watanabe Travelling Fellowship.
We would like to thank, from bottom of our heart, all our hosts: Philippe landreau, Andreas Imhoff and Sonnery Cottet who really put forth great efforts to teach us about Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine.
Planning for ISAKOS Travelling Fellowship began almost a year ago in July 2014. We got the good news from the ISAKOS Office that we were selected for 2015 ISAKOS Watanabe Arthroscopy Traveling Fellowship. That moment was extremely pleasant. We spoke with Dr. Kevin Shea, chair of the ISAKOS Arthroscopy Committee confirming our invitations and they discussed in detail our primary areas of interest in Sports Medicine.
Our interests centered around advances and techniques in ACL and PCL reconstructions, meniscal repairs, and shoulder surgeries. The centers and hosts were planned accordingly.
ASPETAR, Doha, QATAR
Our fellowship trip started on May 25, 2015. We arrived in Doha early morning on the 26th of May. We were transported from Doha Airport to Aspetar where we were accommodated in their dorm rooms. We received a grand welcome reception from hospital staffs Khloud and Fawaz, and Dr. Philippe Khloud took us on a tour of Aspetar’s facilities. We visited the Radiology, Physiotherapy and Surgery departments inside the hospital and Aspire Sports Academy, National Sports Medicine Programme (NSMP) all together well known as Aspire Zone. It was really was one of a kind – amazing, state of the art facilities.

On May 27, our day started with the morning Sports Medicine meeting with all kinds of clinical and radiological discussions. It was very informative. After meeting Dr. Philippe Landreau, he took us to Operation Theatre where we observed ACL reconstruction with minimally invasive technique for PTB graft harvesting, which was beautifully done and explained by Dr. Landreau. ACL Reconstruction was combined with Lateral Iliotibial Tenodesis which was really nice. Second case was ACL and PCL combined Reconstruction, ACL reconstruction with Hamstrings and PCL with Allograft. It was worth observing, considering the infrequent nature of simultaneous double reconstruction which we don’t often get an opportunity to observe. We also observed Shoulder arthroscopy. Dr. Landreau is a very generous, modest and excellent teacher. He explained all the procedures thoroughly. We had enough time for discussion in theatre. On May 28, Dr. Landreau gave a nice presentation and lectures on shoulder latarjet reconstruction, and taught us many secrets of successful Latarjet.
