th
Attending the ISMF Conference was a great opportunity to meet the most advance techniques of hip arthroscopy and knee cartilage preservation procedures. ISMF Conference was divided to two separate knowledge blocks. Each one consisted of theoretical information followed by practical surgical skills lab. International lecturers provided latest information concerning labral tears, cartilage defects and peripheral musculotendinous region lesions of hip joint. Second section was focused on knee cartilage preservation techniques with case presentations. Lecturers created a field of open discussion between the faculty and fellows.
After each section surgical skills lab was introduced. Instructors gave us tremendous help in each step and gave an opportunity to try every procedure which was discussed during theoretical section.
Ultrasound lab provided us with basic skills of radiographic imaging in sports medicine. Thanks to our faculty we had an opportunity to try not only the basic program skills but also to detect pathologies not mentioned in the programme.
Bed and breakfast as I heard from other fellows is always great. It was the same this year. Beautiful accommodation and very tasty meals gave us a chance to talk about every aspect of our work in the unofficial way.
Thank you ISAKOS!
