Prerequisites:ST / LAT 3-5 Orthopaedic trainee in Scotland.
Learning aims:To build on last year's introductory course on the principles and practice of knee arthroplasty surgery. This will introduce the different TKA philosophies as well as navigation and robotics. A range of teaching methods to aid understanding and skill development including the utility of virtual reality simulation in teaching arthroplasty.
Learning outcomes:To further develop understanding and indications for TKR. More focus will be given to practical hands on simulation in TKA including saw bones, virtual reality, navigation and robotics. Completion of both courses should equip all ST3 trainees with the knowledge and practical experience required to do an arthroplasty training job.
