ISAKOS WATANABE ARTHROSCOPY TRAVELLING FELLOWS 2015
ISAKOS Watanabe Arthroscopy Travelling Fellows 2015 (continued)
On June 2, we again started our day with morning clinical meeting and went straight to OR, where we observed Latarjet shoulder operation, SLAP repair, and a double osteotomy in a complex valgus knee where Dr. Andreas simultaneously performed Tibial Medial Closed Wedge and Distal Femoral Lateral Open Wedge Osteotomy. It was a very interesting and educational case. The next, a Discoid meniscal repair in a 9-year-old girl, was really a unique case for us. We enjoyed watching complex posterolateral corner repair with PCL internal brace in a post- traumatic case.
On June 3, we had the good fortune to observe autologous cartilage implantation on femoral condyle localized full thickness cartilage defect. Due to our short stay in Munich, we did not have the opportunity to tour the city.

Lyon, France
On the evening of June 3, we departed from Munich to Lyon. We were warmly received at the Airport and dropped to our hotel near the ISAKOS Congress Centre.
On the morning of June 4, we received a warm welcome from Dr. Sonnery-Cottet and his fellows. We met various other fellows from Japan, Switzerland and Australia. We observed 8 ACL Reconstruction combined with Anterolateral Ligament (ALL) Reconstruction. It was our first exposure to the ALL reconstruction and a special learning experience. The unique style of Dr. Sonnery- Cottet for passing ACL graft through ACL remnant, ACL massage, outside-in femoral tunnel technique,
08 and SAMBBA technique were really the great learning experience. He was operating and teaching us simultaneously. With his smooth surgeries and excellent techniques, we couldn’t feel tired!
Lessons Learned with Dr. Imhoff:
• Meniscal Repair–All inside-out technique
• Double osteotomy for complex valgus knee
• PLC repair+PCL internal bracing for complex knee dislocation soccer injury
• Physical examination of Shoulder: supraspinatus, subscapularis and biceps injuries
• Autologous chondrocyte implantation
