Registration is now open for MicroPort Othopedics’ second annual Global Medial-Pivot Symposium in Phoenix, Arizona from October 13-14, 2023.
This event will highlight the growing popularity of medially stabilizing total knee arthroplasty designs with a robust program to celebrate 25 years of MicroPort Orthopedics' Medial-Pivot Knee, its simple and reproducible surgical technique helping surgeons deliver better, more consistent outcomes for their patients.
The symposium is led by a committee of orthopedic surgeons including:
Attendees can expect an in-depth review from invited keynote speakers of Medial-Pivot design principles and scientific evidence, and how alignment strategies and advanced digital technologies can maximize the clinical benefits of medial-pivot design. Sessions will examine current trends in TKA, the evolution of TKA implant designs, and how this evolution affects knee joint kinematics. The program will also cover personalized solutions for the complete episode of care by coupling with improved patient pathways.
“Building upon the inaugural event of last year, the Global Medial-Pivot Symposium will be an opportunity for top Orthopedic surgeons to further explore the medial-pivot knee design,” said symposium chair Lowry Barnes, MD. “We share a common goal to increase long-term survivorship, accelerate recovery, and improve our patient's outcomes. This symposium will serve as a platform to discuss the role of medially stabilizing TKA designs in achieving this goal and more.”
