NEW_Medial Pivot Symposium 2022 Hero 1600x500b

FIRST ANNUAL GLOBAL MEDIAL-PIVOT SYMPOSIUM, HOSTED BY MICROPORT ORTHOPEDICS

This two-day symposium will focus on the growing popularity of the medially stabilizing TKA designs, highlighting their unique advantages, their effect on the patient experience, including accelerated recovery, return to functional activities, improved patient satisfaction, and long-term survivorship and outcomes.

The scientific program will offer your Surgeons a chance to examine the current trends in total knee arthroplasty, the evolution of TKA implant designs into medially stabilized TKA designs and how this evolution affects knee joint kinematics, ligament balancing, post-operative treatment, and long-term outcomes, addressing the growing needs of a more active and more demanding patient population.
