Course Descriptions:
Advanced Technologies in Knee Arthroplasty - October 18, 2013
Focuses on new breakthroughs for total knee arthroplasty surgery including an in-depth look at the Advanced Surface coating technology and its performance characteristics, unique post-cam design of the VEGA System® knee implant for more natural knee kinematics and the reproducible precision achievable through navigation systems.
Direct Anterior Approach with a Short Hip Stem – October 19, 2013
Focuses on teaching the minimally invasive, direct anterior approach surgical technique that allows for hip replacement without the detachment of muscle from the pelvis or femur. The course will demonstrate the technique using the Metha® short hip stem and the OrthoPilot® navigation system.
Jonathan Lee, MD from Columbia Presbyterian said, “These hands-on courses pack a tremendous amount of information. The faculty are outstanding – they are approachable and skilled. The lectures are informative and well-planned. The laboratory component is top-notch and there is ample time to both learn and to practice the techniques. The facility is state-of-the-art as well with a modern, comfortable lecture hall and an impressive “wet lab” that simulates the O.R. beautifully.”
