Geistlich, proud partner of IBRA - International Bone Research Association, was pleased to be present at the 5th Basel International Ankle Osteoarthritis Course at the IBRA Institute last week🦴✨.

Under the chairmanship of Prof. Dr. med. Victor Valderrabano, the international faculty provided valuable insights into joint‑preserving surgery of the ankle, including concepts in cartilage repair 🎓.

During the hands-on sessions, participants had the opportunity to work with ChondroGide® in the treatment of osteochondral lesions of the ankle. Across different workstations, they performed a variety of practical exercises, including the AMIC® technique with ChondroGide®, helping them strengthen their hands-on experience with these procedures🛠️.

A big thank you to IBRA, the entire faculty, and all participants for making this course such a successful and inspiring event 🙌.

It is always a pleasure to support and partner with such a high‑quality surgical skills course!

From AMIC®️ to AMIC®️+: Exploring Additional Potential 💫

AMIC®️ is a well‑established surgical procedure backed by over 20 years of consistent clinical results.

📚 Some studies highlight opportunities for a more personalized approach by combining the AMIC®️ technique with biological adjuvants placed beneath the Chondro-Gide®️ membrane — a concept known as AMIC®️+.

Possible biological adjuvants include:
- AMFAT
- BMA / BMAC / PBC
- Minced Cartilage
- PRP

‼️ Addition of these biologics for cartilage repair depends on local regulations. ‼️

While these combinations appear promising, more robust long-term clinical data are still required to clearly extablish their therapeutic value. 🔍

It has already been one week since we came back from Poznan, after spending several productive and highly satisfying days dedicated to the AMIC® Foot & Ankle, AMIC® Knee, and AMMR® Courses.

As every year, these courses provide an excellent opportunity to exchange with surgeons from around the world, maintain close relationships with our distribution partners, and further consolidate our partnership with the Poznan lab.

For us, organizing these surgical skill courses is truly rewarding, and the consistently positive feedback we receive confirms their relevance for the healthcare professionals we work with.
The engagement of surgeons throughout these courses highlights their commitment to continuous learning, which gives additional purpose to our educational efforts.

Thank you again to all participants, the faculty, and the Poznan Lab for the great time we had together.
