EFORT implants webinar

It will address the following:

  • adverse reaction — basics;
  • specific issues of large diameter heads;
  • genetic determination for implant replacement;
  • new material options; and
  • anti-infectious and anti-adverse strategies.

Its objectives are to:

  • explain the biology behind the adverse tissue reactions as a key factor in progressive local tissue reactions;
  • demonstrate specific aspects of large diameter heads in the treatment of total hip arthroplasty and in revision THA;
  • focus on the potential of genetic determination in hip and knee arthroplasty procedures;
  • demonstrate the potential of new materials for current and future practice; and
  • overview different anti-infectious and anti-adverse strategies for surgical approaches.
