ESSKA ALL about Ankle and Hindfoot Sports Injuries

 ESSKA ALL about Ankle and Hindfoot Sports Injuries
 

The field of ankle and hindfoot sports injuries is constantly evolving in terms of both understanding of the pathology and therapeutic solutions, particularly in light of the developing and increasing role of new arthroscopic solutions for ligament and tendon pathology in the ankle and surrounding structures.

The course is designed to provide participants of varying levels of expertise with the most up-to-date evidence on the management of ankle and hindfoot sports injuries, as well as hands-on instruction in surgical techniques from ESSKA faculty with recognised experience in the field. Participants will benefit from a state-of-the-art wet lab at the ICLO Verona centre with 12 fully equipped stations, 1 for every 2 participants.
