The Perfect Blend of the Proven and the Cutting Edge

Experience how physicians from all over the world have improved their surgical skills during the past 19 years at

AANA’s Masters Experience Courses

The “One-on-One” Masters Experience is a distinctive learning opportunity for Orthopaedic Surgeons! “One-on-One” means each participant will have their own cadaveric specimen and assist a partner for a complete and equal surgical learning experience.

• The main focus is surgical skills education.• Concentrated, 2-day, hands-on lab courses present the latest diagnostic, excisional, and reconstructive techniques in knee, shoulder, foot & ankle, hip, and wrist & elbow arthroscopy.• Each participant has his/her own cadaveric specimen and one scope to be shared between lab partners. • One Associate Master Instructor per two surgeons operating at a given time provides personalized instruction. • A world-class faculty.• High lab to lecture time ratio. • Equipment from numerous manufacturers available.• An objective, unbiased approach to all subject matter. • Courses take place at the Orthopaedic Learning Center - a state- of-the-art instructional facility minutes away from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

To have your own scope and specimen, bring your own P.A. or 1st Assistant!

(a limited number per course available)

This is your chance to improve your technique, regardless of your current skill level, under ideal conditions and with exceptional, individualized instruction.

Learn how AANA has earned its position as the leader in arthroscopic skills education.

About AANAThe Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) was formed in 1981 and is the primary source of continuing medical education for prac-ticing arthroscopists. It is the most respected conduit for new techniques and information concerning the subspecialty. The Association’s guidelines virtually defi ne the practice of arthroscopic surgery. The collective vision of the membership defi nes the future of the discipline.

Foot & Ankle

This course is presented jointly by the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society and the Arthroscopy Association of North America.

About AOFASThe American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) is an organization of more than 1,800 orthopaedic surgeons from the US and abroad who specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of injuries, diseases, and other conditions of the foot and ankle. Its US members are medical doctors or doctors of osteopathy who have completed medical school and fi ve or more years of additional training to become specialists in the care of diseases and deformities of the foot and the ankle. US members also hold membership in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and are certifi ed by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) or the American Osteopathic Board of Orthopedic Surgery (AOBOS). International members have equivalent degrees and training and are board certifi ed in their own country. It is the goal of the AOFAS to provide physicians who have an interest in foot and ankle surgery with the specialized education needed to provide quality, ethical and cost-effective patient care.

ObjectivesParticipant will be able to:• Perform diagnostic arthroscopy utilizing all portals.• Demonstrate the ability to arthroscopically remove loose bodies, excise osteophytes, and treat OCD.• Understand the principles and techniques of ankle arthrodesis and plantar fasciotomy.• Develop and implement plan for arthroscopic treatment of ankle fractures.• Dissect specimen to evaluate effi cacy of procedures performed.
