Dear Colleagues,
Wrist arthroscopy is becoming an essential tool for hand surgeons for the treatment of soft tissue injuries (ligaments, TFCC, etc.) as well as bone injuries such as distal radius fractures.
I am proud to invite you to the 3rd Arthrowrist Course in Switzerland.
Based on the high number of requests and our experience from the past two years, I have decided, with the support of Arthrex, to organize the 3rd SAWC in Basel at the IBRA Institute (https://www.ibra.net/IBRA-Institute) to expand the practical component.The course is intended for surgeons particularly interested in wrist surgery and arthroscopy. There will be a theoretical part with lectures delivered by international and national faculty, covering anatomy, technical setup, and the most common topics and techniques in wrist arthroscopy. Dr. Riccardo Luchetti, co-founder of the International Wrist Arthroscopy Association (IWAS), will be part of the international faculty. Practical skills will be trained in a new anatomy lab on specimens, with a tutor guiding small groups through the steps of various arthroscopy procedures.There will also be opportunities for interactive discussions with the faculty about challenging cases. Theoretical lectures, case discussions, and practical lessons on real specimens will be blended for a complete learning experience.Looking forward to seeing you in Basel!Ivan Tami
