The ArthroLearn Program
Since founding ArthroLearn in 2020, our mission has been to discover the world’s most innovative way to teach Arthroscopic Surgery.
Arthroscopic surgery is a developing area of Orthopaedics and Traumatology. In recent years, arthroscopy techniques including newer concepts of ACL/PCL reconstruction, Meniscal repair, articular cartilage, Meniscal Replacement surgery, orthobiologics, stem cells are being defined. Shoulder and ankle arthroscopy surgery continues to advance in leaps and bounds. We are advancing to a stage where even complex surgeries can be performed with least morbidity using an arthroscope and a dependable arthroscopy surgeon is essential in any Orthopaedic surgery team whether trauma or otherwise.
To take attention of our colleagues to this future trend and close the exposure deficit, and to encourage surgeons to do arthroscopy through a new scientific platform, we aimed at starting an Arthroscopy Training Initiative – “ARTHROLEARN” using customised simulator models where surgeons can learn to do various techniques in scopy before actually performing on a patient.
Our vision is to become a reputable Arthroscopy centre of high quality and a Training Centre to boost the surgeon’s confidence. We would like to thank you in advance for your scientific contribution towards this upcoming programme and appreciate it if you could give the largest support by participating in our initiative.
