    Advanced Knee-Tibia Course Faculty 2026

Course Outline

This is an interactive course involving lectures, case reviews, panel discussion and hands on workshops, based in a small group environment with a maximum ratio of 4:1 for specimens.

This course will include approaches to the knee and tibia to address complex intra and peri-articular injury to the distal femur, proximal and distal tibia. The use of intra-medullary and site-specific devices to address complex and combined injuries will be considered.

The program is an exciting mix of theory and dissections for both standard and alternative approaches to the knee to deal with complex knee trauma management.
