Pediatric foot and ankle deformities are complex medical conditions requiring detailed understanding of these deformities and various surgical options to ensure long term satisfactory outcomes. The course is designed to improve knowledge and technical skills in proper evaluation and treatment of complex pediatric foot and ankle deformities and would be mostly beneficial for practicing pediatric and adult orthopaedic surgeons and higher-level trainees who have an interest in treating foot and ankle deformities in the pediatric and adolescent population. The course content was based on the concepts developed by master surgeon and course co director, Dr. Vince Mosca.  The expert faculty from various academic centers across North America will bring their knowledge and expertise to share with the attendees.
