Scientific Agenda

22 April (Monday)

  • 08:00 - 13:00
    Pre-Course: Surgical Skills Workshop (Wet-Lab): Surgical Technique in Cartilage Repair
    The surgical skills course will be a very comprehensive wet lab on human specimens at the Anatomic Institute of Vienna, and it will be focused on cartilage regeneration and repair procedures only. The cell transplantation technologies, which are now available in Europe, as well as biomaterials, augmentation techniques or microfracture or Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC), will be demonstrated and also practised on Anatomic specimens. Leading orthopaedic surgeons will guide you through the course and help you develop the skills for cartilage regeneration procedures.
    Location: Medical University of Vienna, Center for Anatomy and Cell Biology, Währinger Straße 13, 1090 Vienna, Austria (limited to 30 participants)
