The Basic Science and Research on-line course was launched on 1 June 2017 at the 18th EFORT Annual Congress held in Vienna, Austria.
Its objective is to support the required basic and advanced knowledge and skills for the orthopaedic community.
Who should attend:
- Residents and young specialists that require updated summarized concepts in orthopaedic basic science to prepare for exams (EBOT, national registration & other).
- Orthopaedic surgeons that plan to enter research – young specialists, residents or specialists planning to start or participate in projects, specialists screening new hypothesis to start new projects reviewing current state of the art and research opportunities.
This on-line course will integrate 4 moduli covering:
i) study design
ii) biology
iii) biomechanics and biomaterials
iv) fundamentals of general orthopaedic science.
Upon mandatory registration, the participants will receive
i) lectures
ii) material on the curriculum topics.
MCQs will be provided at the end of each presentation and attendance to the course will be awarded with an EFORT certificate.

TREATMENT OPTIONS OF UNICONDYLAR KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS IN THE YOUNG ADULT
EFORT Webinar | Tuesday 07 November 2017 | 19:00-21:00 CET | VuMedi
Age is the major risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, however young people can also have OA.
The aetiology is usually different in young population than the elderly population. Diagnosis is often delayed and sometimes difficult because of higher tolerance to pain. Some considerations should be taken into account when choosing a treatment modality in young due to their high expectations. Bearing this in mind, the diagnosis and treatment of knee OA in young adults should be scrutinized well.
The learning objectives of the webinar were:
- To recognize the young knee OA.
- To classify/score the level of OA.
- To predict the outcome.
- To choose the optimum treatment modality.
