Cadaverworkshop Shoulder Arthroplasty:

This cadaver course is organized by the orthopedic department of UZ Leuven in collaboration with the IORT in Leuven and is intended for orthopedic trainees with special interest in shoulder arthroplasty. With theoretical and practical sessions we aim to familiarize the participants with the basic techniques of anatomical and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Short lectures by the faculty members will highlight the most important surgical steps during these procedures, after which all participants will have plenty of time to improve their surgical skills in the cadaver lab.
