Track: Complex Arthroplasty and Arthroscopy
The Complex Arthroplasty and Arthroscopy session dives into the most demanding scenarios in joint surgery, revision arthroplasty, severe bone loss, and deformity correction, where standard techniques often fall short. Attendees will learn strategies from surgeons who specialize in these high-stakes reconstructions.
The session also covers advances in arthroscopic technique for the shoulder, knee, and hip, along with the growing role of robotic and computer-assisted platforms in improving precision for both primary and revision procedures. Discussions will include periprosthetic fracture management and custom implant solutions for the most complex cases.
With joint replacement volumes rising globally, this session equips attendees with the advanced problem-solving skills needed to manage complications and complex anatomy confidently, making it essential for any surgeon regularly performing arthroplasty or arthroscopic procedures in 2027 and beyond.
Key Topics and Highlights:
Revision Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: Strategies for managing failed implants and significant bone loss. This session reviews decision-making frameworks for single-stage versus multi-stage revision.
Complex Primary Arthroplasty: Approaches for deformity and challenging anatomy in first-time replacement. Speakers will present techniques for adapting standard approaches to non-standard anatomy.
Advanced Arthroscopic Techniques: Innovations across shoulder, knee, and hip arthroscopy. New portal placements and instrumentation are expanding what can be treated arthroscopically rather than through open surgery.
Robotic and Computer-Assisted Arthroplasty: Outcomes data on precision-guided joint replacement. The discussion also covers cost-effectiveness considerations for adopting these platforms.
Periprosthetic Fracture Management: Handling fractures around existing implants. This session covers classification systems and surgical strategies tailored to fracture location and implant stability.
Custom and Patient-Matched Implants: Personalized solutions for the most complex reconstructions. 3D-printed and custom-designed implants are increasingly used for severe bone loss or unusual anatomy.
