Held over one day, “The Intraoperative Use of C-Arm Fluoroscopy in Orthopaedic Surgical Practice” featured two main sessions: a scientific symposium and live surgery.
The workshop attracted a large number of participants, including leading experts, surgeons, and healthcare professionals
In the scientific symposium, participants gained practical insights from leading trauma centers worldwide on treating complex cases such as acetabular fractures, femoral fractures, elbow injuries, hip replacements, and more. The program also provided updates on the latest applications of C-Arm fluoroscopy, advanced surgical support technologies, and AI in orthopaedic trauma care.

The latter part of the workshop featured live surgeries performed on real patients by Vietnamese surgeons in collaboration with international experts.
Case 1: Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation using 3D C-Arm imaging.
Case 2: Total knee replacement using the Kinematic Alignment technique, with C-Arm imaging and advanced navigation technologies.
Both procedures were broadcast live, allowing all participants to observe and learn from the surgical techniques in real time.
