This comprehensive symposium will address the spectrum of knee surgery from arthroscopy to joint preservation through to unicompartment and total joint arthroplasty. The course will emphasize decision making with lectures, panel discussion, debate of controversial topics, and complications. Various demonstrations will be performed by the faculty, including ultrasound sessions. The non-operative and rehab aspect of most of these conditions will be integrated into the discussion. This will be of specific interest to general physicians, physiotherapists, and athletic trainers.
