FELLOWSHIP REPORT
International Sports Medicine Fellows Conference
Karolina St pie , MD POLAND
In January 2016, I had a great opportunity to attend the International Sports Medicine Fellowship Conference held in Carlsbad, California. I felt especially awarded because I was the youngest fellow sent to this event by ISAKOS!
I had a long fifteen-hour flight from Poland, but it was worth it. Being a part of this event provided me with a lot of theoretical and practical information about orthopaedic surgery. The Conference was focused on two main subjects: articular cartilage repair and hip arthroscopy. Articular cartilage repair is one of most important in orthopaedic surgery – every day I meet patients with this kind of problem. Lectures and surgical skill labs were very useful and helpful for my practice. In turn, issues with hip arthroscopy were so interesting because the number of doctors who do this kind of procedure and patients that undergo these operations are still growing in my country. It is not so common like knee arthroscopy but it still develops.
Organization of the Conference was at a high level – the lectures and labs were prepared perfectly. The faculty were very helpful and gave us a chance to discuss and ask questions.
One of the most interesting things was a possibility to compare our way of work with people from other countries. We have different groups of patients, different tools and, of course, different experiences. It gave me a new, fresh look on orthopaedic surgery.
ISAKOS gives amazing possibilities for young fellows – you really should take advantage of this!
