Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Mark Hutchinson, chairman of the International Committee for the Arthroscopy Association of North America, introduces an international arthroscopy course co-hosted with ANA, EMECRA, and SLARD. The course focuses on knee and shoulder arthroscopy, aiming to enhance participants' skills, whether they are beginners or advanced practitioners, ensuring they provide better patient care. Hosted at Arthrex Global Headquarters, it combines lectures and hands-on lab sessions, focusing on key areas like knee meniscus, ACL work, shoulder instability, rotator cuff, and bone deficiency. The course emphasizes a skills-based progression, using the asset examination for performance feedback. Participants are encouraged to practice consistently, with feedback being an integral part of learning. Dr. Hutchinson highlights key techniques and common pitfalls in arthroscopy, offering practical tips for cadaver-based training. Attendees are advised to communicate goals, practice regularly, and leverage faculty expertise while engaging in this collaborative, educational experience.
