With the participation of Switzerland, Australia, Germany and prestigious professionals from the Cuban Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology, the Cuban Group of Arthroscopy and Sports is holding the sixteenth International Symposium in Ciego de Ávila at the provincial teaching hospital Doctor Antonio Luaces Iraola.

Patients with shoulder and knee injuries undergo demonstrative clinical examinations to facilitate the exchange between medical students from the host territory and orthopedic professionals from other provinces and abroad.

Surgical demonstrations and laboratory practices are among the main activities of the International Arthroscopy Symposium that will be held until October 8 at the Doctor Antonio Luaces Iraola Provincial Teaching Hospital, where events of this magnitude have been held since 2003.

Thus, Cuban orthopedics is getting closer and closer to the restoration of bone and ligament injuries through less aggressive and painful procedures, which have already benefited more than 3,000 patients from all over Cuba.
