This access course focuses on surgical access to the upper ankle joint, lower ankle joint, and foot, offering key insights into the most effective and reliable approaches to these regions. Participants will practice techniques for incision, exposure, and navigation of the critical structures in the foot and ankle. Through hands-on training with real specimens and anatomical models, residents will refine their skills, gaining confidence in performing these access procedures with precision.

To support their preparation, participants gain access to the Augmedi E-Learning platform upon registration. With photorealistic 3D models and an AI-driven learning engine, they can deepen their anatomical knowledge and track their progress before the hands-on sessions.
