We are pleased to announce the upcoming EPOS BAT Advanced Course on Rare Bone Diseases.
Taking place from 17 to 18 September, the course will be held at the IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna.
Endorsed by ERN BOND, this comprehensive course will cover:
- Comprehensive coverage of 10+ rare skeletal conditions, including osteogenesis imperfecta, achondroplasia, multiple exostoses, mosaicism, rickets, and more.
- Advances in genetics, molecular diagnostics, imaging, 3D planning, AI, and novel therapies (pharmacologic, gene- and cell-based).
- Best practices in limb and spine deformity and fracture management, with hands-on surgical training using key instrumentation.
- Interdisciplinary learning: orthopaedics, endocrinology, genetics, patient perspectives, and European reference networks.
This course provides valuable educational opportunities for residents and early-career clinicians seeking a structured foundation in this complex field. It also provides experienced surgeons with a focused and comprehensive update on the rapidly evolving diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
