Functional Hallux Limitus: a new paradigm

Olympic Museum, Lausanne

March 31, 2023

Medicol Congress 2023

We invite you to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne for a Congress with an innovative theme: Functional Hallux Limitus (FHL). Thanks to the support of the French Association of Foot Surgery (AFCP) and its president, Dr. Barbara Piclet, we are pleased and honored this year to welcome a wide range of European specialists who will share their experience on this little-known or poorly understood subject.

Foot-related hypertrophy (FHR) is a clinical entity that often goes undiagnosed despite its involvement in a range of painful physical problems that are not limited to the foot. Balance and performance are affected, as are premature wear and tear of certain joints and the occurrence of knee or ankle sprains.

The management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) involves several specialists from complementary fields in a therapeutic and preventative approach. While conservative treatment is always the first-line option, surgical treatment yields good results thanks to highly functional arthroscopic surgery. Experienced specialists will present the different approaches and offer solutions tailored to each individual's practice.

From anthropology to clinical practice, we invite you on a unique journey through this pathology via interactive discussions. An international roundtable will conclude the event with the presentation of numerous selected cases.
