Description  

Dear Colleague,

We have the pleasure to invite you to the 2017 Orthopaedica Belgica Fall Course, which will take place at the Elisabeth Centre Antwerp (next to the Zoo), on Friday the 1^st of December 2017.

This symposium is co-organised by BVOT, SORBCOT and BELSS, and will feature Shoulder Instability as the main topic.  We aim to attract residents, young shoulder and upper extremity specialists, sports physicians and physiotherapists as well as senior experienced surgeons, to discuss shoulder instability at a multidisciplinary level.

We are proud to present a famous international faculty, who will perform live surgeries during the symposium: Lennard Funk from Manchester (UK), Sven Lichtenberg from Heidelberg (DE) and Paolo Paladini from Cattolica (IT).  Together with our national faculty, they will share their insights on diagnostic work-up, decision making and surgical techniques.

 Last but not least, Schoudernetwerk Vlaanderen will participate in the rehab session to discuss do’s and don’ts in the rehabilitation of the unstable shoulder.

 Discover the preliminary programme here under.
