Objectives: The presentations are largely of a clinical research nature. The participants will have the opportu-
nity to review and discuss novel medical and surgical techniques and applications to help determine when and
how they might be included in their clinical practice.
Objectifs : L’exposé consiste surtout en une recherche clinique. Les participants auront l’occasion de revoir les
nouvelles techniques et applications médicales et chirurgicales et d’examiner ensemble quand et comment ils
pourraient les inclure dans leur pratique clinique.
