In this Wetlab, residents will gain hands-on experience in knee prosthesis implantation using real specimens. The course focuses on bone preparation, implant positioning, and fixation, allowing participants to refine their surgical techniques in a realistic setting. Under the guidance of the knee surgery team from Balgrist University Hospital, they will enhance their skills in knee arthroplasty, perfecting their approach for optimal outcomes.

To support their preparation, participants receive 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 training.
