HOST INSTITUTION
About ESSKA / EKA and selected Western European teaching centre
The host is selected from leading Western European joint-replacement centres for each cycle rather than fixed permanently to one hospital.
The cited evidence does not provide a programme-specific faculty roster that OrthoFellow can safely publish. Open the official source or submit an institutional correction; names and portraits are never inferred from department membership.
