TRANSOSSEOUS ACADEMY
Milan 2017

The first edition held in Milan was the kick off for the Transosseous Academy.
More than 80 attendees coming from 5 countries, 2 live surgeries are few numbers at a glance.

Prestigious speakers took part of the event and reported their experiences (see the program).

Valuable contents in a friendly and interactive environment, this is what TA is.

Transosseous Academy was introduced as a society to favor and promote education and science and we left the event with an ambitious target: to create a monography entirely dedicated to Transosseous.
A few months later this was achieved and from August this is available on line.
