Agenda
The agenda below is from our 2025 conference. Details for our 2026 conference will be added when available.
“Through the lens of both clinical practice and research trials, I’ll dive into the intricate challenges of posterolateral corner injuries – a critical yet often underappreciated component of knee stability. Join me as I explore the nuances of diagnosis, surgical decision-making, and evolving treatment protocols that have emerged from our multicenter studies, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes in contact sport athletes.”
– Daniel Whelan, MD, MSc, FRCSC
