Donwload the final program (PDF) - Annecy Live Surgery 2013

Dear friends & colleagues,
Welcome to the 5th Annecy Live Surgery International Shoulder Advanced Course, June 6, 7, 8 - 2013.
Since the 1st «all live surgery event» in 2005, we have organised the course every 2 years and it is a great
pleasure to welcome you to our rendez-vous in Annecy this June!
This year Gilles WALCH, Pascal BOILEAU and Christian GERBER are honoring us by being part of our
scientific committee.
The incredibly fast developments in shoulder surgery means that we have better
knowledge about arthroscopic anatomy, better analysis of the pathologies and more
technical possibilities for repair. Science is moving so fast and we want to share
that with you for the best of our patients.
I want to thank the wonderful international faculty of the best shoulder surgeons
who accepted, once again, to come to Annecy to share with you their expert
techniques, skill, and their passion for shoulder surgery!
I want to thank our commercial partners for their technical and financial contributions
and their great participation!
The aim of the meeting remains the same since the 1st edition: to show through 33 LIVE
SURGERIES the most up-to-date techniques, to learn how to approach different situations
and difficulties, all managed by the best experts and moderated by each other.
This is real transparent, state of the art of the shoulder surgery. As usual we will
start and finish on time, despite the difficulties of the surgeries which can and
will certainly happen as they did happen during the 4 previous meeting for a few
surgeries. The way the best worldwide surgeons react and perform in front of
these difficulties is certainly one of the most interesting and instructive highlights
of this meeting. The moderators will be the permanent link between the audience
and the surgeon.
All surgical management of the shoulder pathologies will be shown, but this year time will
be dedicated to some LIVE CLINICAL CASES.
As in 2011, a permanent, simultaneous LIVE VIRTUAL 3D SHOULDER will help to
better assess the anatomy and pathology being treated under the arthroscopic
2D image.
So welcome in Annecy to the fifth ‘Woodstock of shoulder surgery’ !
Amitiés
