The Athlete's Ankle

It was our pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd Edition of our Aspetar Current Concepts in the beautiful city of Doha, Qatar!

Inspired by the success of the previous editions on the Knee and Elbow, we dedicated this year’s event on the Ankle Joint.

We were honoured to once again bring you expert presentations given by the most prominent national and international leaders in the field of Ankle Pathology.

This Current Concept meeting on the Ankle came at a time when injuries to the Ankle Joint are more common than ever, particularly in association with sporting activities. In fact, Ankle Sprains were among the most commonly reported injuries during last FIFA World Cup and Olympic Summer Games.  With the increase of sports related Ankle pathology, the need for evidence-based treatment strategies and necessity of speaking a common scientific language among physicians brought us together.  For this reason we sincerely hope that the videos of the Aspetar Current Concept on the Ankle will both be educational and productive, stuffed with tailored practical lectures, debates and discussion sessions.

Through the lecture highlights, case discussions and audience interaction, we provide you with the up-to-date concepts and treatment guidelines for everyday practice of sports related Ankle pathology.  We look forward to welcoming you next year to our 4^th Current Concepts.

 

 

Best Regards,
