Global Contributions to Education and Arthroscopy
Teaching is an important part of Dr. Bruchou’s work. Each year, he mentors one surgeon through the University Diploma of Arthroscopy under the French Arthroscopy Society. This role is voluntary and reflects his commitment to developing future specialists.
His international experience includes four years in Western China, where he introduced arthroscopic shoulder surgery to a region where the technique was not yet practiced. He also helped build long-term Franco-Chinese collaborations within orthopaedic societies, creating new opportunities for knowledge exchange.
