Dear collegues and friends,
Welcome to the fifth edition of the Foot and Ankle Meeting organised in Iasi, in 29-30 may 2025. This course is designed for orthopaedic surgeons with the motivation to learn different aspects of foot and ankle pathologies, and improve their skills in foot and ankle surgical techniques. It covers different topics, including forefoot disorders, ankle and hindfoot fractures, flat foot, arthroscopic techniques and sport lesions in foot an ankle. The approach will be delivered in 3 phases – theorical presentation, faculty demonstration, and practical work.
The courses are taught in a modular format. A limited number of evidence-based lectures cover the key information required. Supervised by the experienced faculty, in the cadaver lab and sawbones workshop, participants are trained in the application of different techniques and approaches. Discussing cases in groups helps participants to develop decision-making and management skills.
We hope you’ll have best time here in Iasi.
