Challenges in in Knee Arthroplasty 2017

Tekno Surgical were once again delighted to host their annual Orthopaedic Symposium in the Cappagh Hospital on April 28th. Each year, the company alternates between a focus on either the Knee or the Hip. This year the meeting focused on the ‘Challenges in Revision Knee’.

The meeting was a huge success with over one hundred health care professionals attending the symposium.  A big thank you to the Chairmen; Professor Kevin Mulhall and Mr James Cashman and also a special thank you to Mr Bryan Springer, Mr Daniel Kendoff, and Mr Jonathan Miles, who travelled from abroad to present at this meeting, all of whom added to the event’s great success.

Some of the interesting topics and debates discussed throughout the meeting are as follows:

• Why are Total Knees Failing? 
• How to work up a failed TKR?
• The Revision Knee Multidisciplinary Team
• Outcomes of Revision Knee Surgery
• The Specialist Revision Knee Surgeon
• Surgical approached in Revision TKR
• Treatment options for bone loss
• Stems – To Cement or Not?
• Debate: Constraint
• Use Less Constraint
• Hinge Every Time
• Soft Tissue Construction in Complex Knee and Lower Limb problems
• Salvage – Fusion and Amputation
• Periprosthetic Infection: The Future

The Tekno Surgical Knee Symposium also gives the company the opportunity to showcase some new and exciting products that are now entering the Irish Orthopaedic Market such as the Stryker Triathlon Metaspheal Cones, RAS Cup and the new Biocomposites range of antibiotic bone cement. 

We look forward to returning to Cappagh Hospital in 2018 for the Tekno Surgical Hip Symposium. To find out more or register for this even, please get in contact.
