ALL about Meniscus 2019
The lectures will be directly correlated to what the attendees will perform in the laboratory.
The attendee is expected to learn all about the meniscus starting from the very simple to the very complex.
The basics of arthroscopic portals will be revisited in light of the multiportal access to the knee joint. Optimization of meniscus healing will be discussed in order to learn ways to promote healing. Partial meniscectomy, one of the most frequently performed procedures in orthopaedic surgery, will be refreshed.
There will be lectures which explain meniscus suturing including all inside, outside-in and inside-out, followed by hand-on practice in the laboratory. How to suture a ramp lesion and how to suture a root tear will also be discussed followed by hands-on repetition on cadavers. Finally, meniscal allografts or substitutes will be discussed as an option in salvage cases.
