Chair of Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery

Objectives:

• Provide advanced surgeons with access to training and discussion of specific topics in the field of arthroscopy raised by renowned experts.

• Meet the needs of the scientific community in this sector, especially in postgraduate education and continuing education.

• Provide practical material to support diagnosis and surgical interventions in complex cases.

• Allow, through its webinar format, access to the discussion forum both nationally and throughout Latin America via scientific societies with which agreements have been reached.

• Contribute to the collaboration objectives established in agreements with other national (SEROD) and Latin American (SLARD, AMECRA, AAA, ACCART, ACIRAT, Capítulo Chileno, etc.) companies.

• Establish reference or consensus guidelines that can be used to guide the approach to certain more complex pathologies.

• Disseminate these consensus guidelines via the website and the journal.

Development of a four-day practical course as part of the National Arthroscopy Training Plan, including two days of arthroscopic surgery on the upper limb. Practical training on cadavers focusing on the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand, and two days of arthroscopic surgery on the lower limb. Practical training on cadavers focusing on the foot and ankle, knee, and hip.

This plan is based on the fulfillment of the following objectives:

• Organize training in arthroscopy in our country.

• Provide entry-level surgeons with access to retraining and professional development.

• Meet the needs of the scientific community in terms of both postgraduate education and continuing education.

• Provide theoretical material to support diagnosis and surgical procedures.

• Provide practical material that serves as support in surgical procedures for the most basic cases.

• Evaluate and certify that participants have acquired the satisfactory level of knowledge and skills required.

The Spanish Arthroscopy Association (AEA) promotes the development of a research project each year by awarding a grant.
