ESSKA ACL Module 2022 Faculty ESSKA...

The ESSKA European Certification Programme is based on the ESSKA Specialist Core Curriculum. It is modular in structure, with individual specialists being encouraged to study one or more ‘Modules’ directly relevant to their current or future clinical practice. Successful completion of each Module will lead to the award of an ESSKA Certificate of Excellence in that domain.

 

The purpose of this ACL Module is to ensure successful participants achieve and demonstrate the background knowledge and practical skills required to undertake arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and lateral extra-articular tenodesis using state-of-the-art surgical techniques to the standard set by the ESSKA community.

Part II. Surgical Skills Training and Assessment
