Functional Analysis the Key to the Next Revolution in the Treatment and Prevention of Hip and Knee Arthritis
Organized by:

Joint replacement remains one of the most successful interventions in orthopaedic surgery however there are still patients who do not achieve their maximum function due to instability and/or persistent pain. This symposium will review current evidence linking patient reported outcomes and functional analysis as well as current evidence on how surgical approach and prosthetic influence impacts patient function. Finally, advanced modeling combining finite element analysis and patient specific data in the understanding the pathomechanism of joint degeneration will be presented.
