International experts share experience in orthopedic trauma

This is the 8th expert-level workshop organized by Ho Chi Minh City Orthopedic Hospital in collaboration with the Vietnam Orthopedic Association and Binh Thuan General Hospital.

On March 1 and 2, the workshop focused on discussing the topic of knee preservation surgery in the treatment of early stage localized knee osteoarthritis.
