4 November 2016, Royal Armouries, Leeds, UK
Orthopaedic consultants and industry experts will gather in Leeds in November for the second Orthopaedic Knee Conference, organised by Orthopaedic Product News.
With an overall theme of ‘Challenging the Controversies’, the one-day meeting will discuss practice, innovation and evidence, looking at current trends and topics through a full programme of keynote lectures, open panel debate and a lively trade exhibition. Issues relating to surgical concepts and innovations will also be tackled.
As concerns are raised within the industry that a registry which was designed to identify failing implants is now perhaps turning against the orthopaedic profession and damaging innovation, The Orthopaedic Knee Conference will address head-on areas that are often seen as contentious, to challenge both speakers and delegates.
Key topics include the National Joint Registry/Beyond compliance, Total knee arthroscopy, Partial knee replacement, Soft tissue knee surgery and Outcomes of ACL reconstruction.
Whether you’re an orthopaedic knee surgeon, medical professional, medical device manufacturer, or associated with another related field, this is an essential event for your diary.
