Acetabular Course Feedback


The 2nd International Symposium on Acetabular Reconstruction course, themed “Wear is the Problem”, took place in the Royal College of Surgeons of England. This Course attracted 45 participants. The subjects were complex and varied, which were delivered by the most eminent experts in the field. International speakers had travelled from the USA, Sweden, Italy and France.

The meeting was excellent with a top class faculty.
Johan Henckel

I found it really useful and the faculty was very well chosen.
Amgad Nakhla

The day was extremely useful and very interesting. The number of eminent academics present was very impressive – and reinforces the Faculty’s view that the discussion of the acetabulum is of great importance. I imagine this dialogue will continue at future meetings.
Philip Ward

Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was both informative and interesting and the faculty was outstanding.
