Taking the advanced knee arthroscopic surgery course to Singapore

The Advanced Knee Arthroscopic Surgery course was first organised in 1995 under the joint auspices of the British Association for Surgery of the Knee and The Royal College of Surgeons of England. This is a two-day course in advanced knee arthroscopic techniques, with lectures, videos and extensive practical sessions. The approach is very much hands-on, using cadavers together with sawbones and model knees. Use is also made of the specimens in the Anatomical Museum of the College. Instruction is given in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, meniscal repair and posterior cruciate with posterolateral ligament reconstruction. Since 1995 the course has been held on seven occasions and has been attended by over 100 senior trainees and consultants.
