In recent decades there has been considerable progress in the use of minimally invasive techniques by foot and ankle specialists. Such progress is accompanied by technological innovations and refinement of technique. In this scenario, arthroscopy has become a preferred procedure for the treatment of certain pathologies.

As in the case of arthroscopic knee and shoulder surgery, there have been significant improvements in foot and ankle surgery, which have an impact on patient recovery. The benefits obtained and the reduction of skin and soft tissue complications have made this technique preferable over others. In this line, TECH has created this university qualification, which offers the specialist the latest information on Foot and Ankle Arthroscopy, through an expert teaching staff with extensive experience in reference hospitals.

A program that provides the most relevant information in this area through a theoretical and practical content. In this way, the professional will learn about the scope of this technique, the instruments used, the arthroscopic reconstruction of the lateral ligaments of the ankle, as well as the indications and contraindications in the use of this technique. For this purpose, this educational institution provides the student with multimedia teaching resources, essential readings and clinical case studies.

In addition, with the Relearning method, the professional will be able to advance in a natural way through the syllabus of this postgraduate certificate, reducing even the long hours of study and memorization, so frequent in other teaching systems.

The professional is therefore presented with an excellent opportunity to update their knowledge through a qualification that can be taken comfortably, whenever and wherever they wish. They only need an electronic device with an internet connection to be able to access, at any time, the syllabus hosted on the virtual platform. A flexible and ideal educational option for those who wish to balance the most demanding responsibilities with a high-level university program.

Postgraduate Certificate in Foot and Ankle Arthroscopy

Foot and ankle arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which a small tube (arthroscope) is used to examine and treat the joints of the foot and ankle. The arthroscope has a video camera and a built-in light that allows the surgeon to see the joint in detail without the need for a large incision.

During the procedure, small incisions are made in the skin of the foot and ankle through which the arthroscope and other surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon can observe the joint on a monitor and perform necessary treatments, such as repairing or removing damaged tissues, repairing cartilage injuries, removing foreign bodies and removing inflammation.

This procedure is less invasive than traditional surgery and generally has fewer complications, less pain and a faster recovery. Patients can return to normal activities in a shorter period of time than with other types of surgery.

Foot and ankle arthroscopy is a safe and effective procedure for treating a variety of problems in these joints, including sports injuries, arthritis, heel spurs, osteochondritis, stiffness and chronic pain. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are always some potential risks, so it is always important to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor before undergoing surgery of this type.

This online academic program seeks to provide students with comprehensive training in foot and ankle arthroscopy. Students will learn the fundamentals of arthroscopy, the anatomy and physiology of the foot and ankle, as well as the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in injuries. In addition, they will gain specific knowledge about surgical techniques and the management of common injuries, as well as the postoperative care and rehabilitation necessary for optimal patient recovery. Learning will take place through theoretical and practical modules, using case studies and discussions to develop skills.
