Wexham Cruciate Ligament Meeting 2024

Wexham Cruciate Ligament Meeting 2024 is organized by Clockwork Medical and will be held from Nov 07 - 08, 2024 at Ascot Conference Centre, Ascot, England, United Kingdom.

Overview:
This is the 17th time this historic meeting has been held. It was started by Robin Allum FRCS in 1992 in an era when the evolution of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction had just gone from being a largely open procedure to being an all arthroscopic technique.

Course Aim:
This meeting is a practical approach to knee ligament surgery looking at the latest techniques to repair or reconstruct injured knees in all groups of patients from the recreational sportsperson through to the professional elite athlete.

Through the talks, discussions and live surgical demos. The theme of the meeting is a hands-on, practical approach whether you are just starting out in your career or an experienced surgeon updating their knowledge. There is plenty of time allocated for discussion, talks and live demonstrations
