Introduction of the 8th M.O.R.E. International Symposium. This Symposium will focus on how implant design, techniques and patient specific treatment can improve outcomes and patient satisfaction. A keynote lecture is included, introducing the evolution of the concepts of knee alignment and soft tissue management.
Can the implant design affect patient satisfaction? The medially stabilized knee design of the GMK Sphere will be introduced as an enhanced implant design to address patient expectations.
Several techniques and philosophies surround the TKR orthopaedic scenario today. This session will address the different alignment and soft tissue management philosophies, their impact on TKR outcome.
Patient well-being following a TKR is often related to implant stability. The search for improved outcomes, is motivating some surgeons to change their practice, by choosing new implant design and techniques. This round table discussion, through direct experience of surgeons from all over the world, will focus on the surgeons implant choice for implant stability.
The GMK Sphere is authenticated by many clinical studies, shown in this session, including: clinical outcomes, kinematics intra-operative validation through navigation, gait analysis, comparative fluoroscopic study on the in vivo kinematics, dynamic RSA.
In today orthopaedics, different stakeholders are involved in the decision making process: patients, surgeons and administrators to name a few. The technology being offered to them by suppliers should take into account the needs of them all. Patient Matched Technology (PMT) and Single Use Instrumentation are presented here to address the expectations of the patient, the surgeon and the hospital.
Developments in surgical processes and the new trend in outpatients are now including the field of small orthopaedic implants. The today and tomorrow partial knee replacements are introduced, through a modern perspective.
This round table discussion will cover complex and revision knee replacement cases. Knee revision experts will share their experience in solving special cases.
What are the variables that control outcomes influencing patient satisfaction? Implant, surgical approach, pain, length of stay and discharge are factors that will help to achieve patient expectations.
Each patient is different. For each patient there is a specific indication and a suitable implant. This session will focus on implants as variables to control outcomes, particularly for high-demanding patients. AMIStem evidence and results are included.
Are the new coating technologies addressing the needs of the highdemanding patient? Is there still an interest in cementation, even if advanced coating technologies are available for cementless stems?
The AMIS approach is an evolving technique, evolving by indications, instrumentation, implants and technique guidelines. The education and specific instrumentation still remain the key of the success in optimizing the technique, with reduced capsular release and the possibility to operate on all patients. Furthermore, AMIS is suitable for almost all primary and revision surgeries. Particularly, revision through the anterior approach is feasible, but requires dedicated instruments, implants and techniques, as described in the session.
The 10 most common complications in THR include: dislocation, leg length inequality, nerve damage, periprosthetic fracture... This round table discussion will indicate if the AMIS approach can reduce or even avoid these complications, through the anterior approach experience of surgeons from all over the world.
This round table discussion will cover complex and revision hip replacement cases. Hip revision experts will share their experience in solving special cases.
In the past decade, arthroscopic hip surgery has emerged as a standard modality in the treatment of various hip disorders. However, the learning curve of hip arthroscopy is flat (slow acquisition of skills) and its technique is demanding. In addition, the indications for arthroscopic treatment currently are limited. This session addresses several important questions such as when to use open or arthroscopic approaches, how to make the transition from an open to an arthroscopic hip surgeon, and introduces important technical pearls of FAI and labral surgery.
Joint preserving surgery of the hip joint is demanding. Frequently, there are complex situations, and the discussion of what should be done is controversial. The focus of this session is on osteoarthritis, persisting pain after THA, hip instability and dysplasia.
Introduction of the 8th M.O.R.E. International Symposium. This Symposium will focus on how implant design, techniques and patient specific treatment can improve outcomes and patient satisfaction. A keynote lecture is included, introducing the outcomes in minimally invasive and technological improvements.
Screw placement accuracy has been a challenge for many years especially in complicated anatomies. This session will discuss a novel solution with patient matched guidance technologies, its opportunities and its current applications. In addition, intra-operative radiation doses are an underestimated risk which need to be considered in the choice of pre- and intra-operative radiology.
Different minimally invasive operating techniques have advantages and disadvantages. Do they provide the expected patient satisfaction? Which techniques for which indications are preferred?
Sagittal Balance strategies have been for several years now a main topic of discussion in spine and may provide an improved patient outcome. How is it determined, best surgical steps and what further factors need to be considered? The surgical strategies, do they only concern the indications for deformity surgeries?
Today there are many options for intervertebral fusion devices. From a surgical and patient outcome point of view, what would be the requirements of modern devices for them to deliver the best intra-operative handling capabilities and ultimately better fusion results?
A perspective view of the main issues surrounding the treatment of patients with difficult anatomical conditions as well as important postsurgical complications such as fractures and infections.
Anterior lumbar surgical techniques became rather popular in the disc arthroplasty era, the last 10 years. The approach itself brings several advantages, but challenges remain for the fusion indications. This session highlights current trends, indications and outcomes in anterior surgeries.
Latest developments and thoughts on indications for cervical surgeries, anterior and posterior. This session will cover the treatment of complicated cervical anatomies, how to prevent post-surgical complications, revision strategies and new techniques in the accuracy of screw placement.
This session covers the overview of different surgical approaches, options and techniques for cervical anatomy. In addition, the more differentiated techniques, such as lumbar unilateral and stand-alone fusion, are highlighted.
