Medicol Congress 2026

This year the Medicol congress is dedicated to upper limb pathologies and we are pleased to welcome a very wide range of specialists to help us better understand the therapeutic challenges we face.

Distal radius fractures are common, and their functional impact is considerable. We will seek clarification from an insurance physician before discussing surgical indications with leading specialists. We will also examine with them how surgical techniques have evolved, both for primary treatment and revision surgery.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the reason for the most common hand surgery, but today several solutions are possible and even radiologists are getting involved – quite a program…

Explaining the causes of shoulder pain is no easy task, as the etiologies are numerous and difficult to decipher. This session will offer us different perspectives on the diagnostic approach to these pains and their management.

We will be in the operating room for the final session of the congress, dedicated to reverse shoulder replacement. This procedure has now overtaken the "classic" prosthesis, and we will examine the reasons for this evolution in light of the results and the improvement of techniques.

Hoping to see many of you at the Olympic Museum on March 27th, the Medicol team thanks you for your loyalty.
