08/10/2021
Doctors Gorka Knörr and Josep María de Bergua, from the Paediatric Traumatology Unit of the UCA, together with the researcher Irene Gimeno, will attend as speakers, on behalf of the Arthroscopic Surgery Unit of Dr. Mikel Sánchez (UCA, according to the Spanish acronym), the ALPE Congress on Achondroplasia and other Skeletal Dysplasias related to Dwarfism that will take place from 9 to 11 October in Gijón.
This forum will bring together the national centres that carry out clinical trials on the treatment of Achondroplasia. Furthermore, it will address issues of special interest to families, such us what does a clinical trial of these characteristics consist of (visits to the centre or the different tests the participating children have to undergo). This congress also serves to resolve the numerous doubts that families may come across throughout the year and to find out the forecasts for recruitment in clinical trials.
The Arthroscopic Surgery Unit of Dr. Mikel Sánchez is an international reference centre in the field of Achondroplasia Clinical Trials. Apart from that, Dr. Knörr and Dr. De Bergua attend to this type of paediatric patients who sometimes suffer from some type of dysplasia and require surgical treatments, such as corrections of malformations in the lower and upper extremities. In this sense, Dr. Knörr will give a talk on the advances in the surgery of different bone dysplasias, apart from achondroplasia. These type of surgeries are applied in the Arthroscopic Surgery Unit of Dr. Mikel Sánchez, including Platelet-Rich Plasma.
