Description

Expert Symposium: Challenges in Percutaneous Foot & Ankle Surgery

Endoscopic Spine Surgery: 

Description

This international didactic symposium focuses on the principles and latest advancements in percutaneous and minimally invasive foot surgery. Designed as a platform for exchange among experienced surgeons and experts, it emphasizes evidence-based practices and scientific insights. Participants will engage in in-depth discussions on indications, techniques, and outcomes, fostering knowledge sharing and critical evaluation of current literature.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will gain current, practical, evidence-based insights to apply in their own surgical management of challenging cases, including metatarsalgia, hallux valgus, flatfoot deformities, Achilles tendon pathologies, and complex fusions. They will strengthen their ability to critically evaluate indications, refine minimally invasive techniques, and integrate emerging concepts into advanced clinical practice.
