For the 14th consecutive year, the Department of Orthopaedics at UZ Gent - UZ Pellenberg, in collaboration with the TerBrugGen Shoulder Group, is proud to host its annual cadaver course.

This year’s program will focus on shoulder arthroplasty, offering a unique blend of expert presentations and hands-on sessions. Participants will gain practical experience with the placement of both anatomical and reverse shoulder prostheses.

What sets this course apart is its innovative format: instead of surgeons leading the presentations, we have invited engineers from the participating implant firms to join the faculty. These experts will engage in dynamic discussions, exploring the advantages and limitations of their respective implants.

Following the presentations, surgeons will have the opportunity to apply their skills directly, performing the procedures on cadavers under guided supervision. This distinctive collaboration ensures a comprehensive learning experience that bridges engineering insights with surgical practice.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Ghent
