This access course focuses on mastering surgical approaches to the knee joint and lower leg compartments, including anterior and posterior approaches. Residents will practice essential techniques for exposing key structures, ensuring proper access for surgical procedures. Through hands-on training with real specimens, participants will refine their skills in navigating anatomical landmarks, improving incision precision, and optimizing their approaches under expert guidance.

To support preparation, all participants gain access to the Augmedi E-Learning platform upon registration. The platform features photorealistic 3D models and an AI-driven learning engine, helping residents deepen their anatomical understanding and track their progress.
