Advances in Arthroscopic Surgery – An International Perspective
Wednesday, May 16, 2012

    Please mark your calendars and plan to join AANA for the first ever AANA/SLARD Pre-Course to be held on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 immediately preceding the 2012 AANA Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida.  This one day Pre-Course represents important collaboration between AANA and SLARD (Latin American Society of Knee Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine) and will incorporate world class North American and International faculty discussing timely and controversial “Top to Hot Topics” in upper and lower extremity sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery.
    Presentations on many topics such as shoulder instability, rotator cuff repair, knee ligament reconstruction and hip arthroscopy will be delivered.  Also included in this full day event will be the highly anticipated “North Meets South: Interactive International Debates” featuring an afternoon of lively case panel discussions on controversial topics such as “Challenges in Shoulder Instability Management”, “Controversial Topics in Hip Arthroscopy”, and “Dilemmas in Meniscal and Osteoarticular Treatment” to name a few.  These debates are sure to be both entertaining and highly educational and will highlight an interesting and valuable international perspective.  Don’t miss this unique AANA/SLARD collaboration!

All presentations will be presented in English with Simultaneous Translation into Spanish.
