The Third Annual Hip Joint Preservation and Resurfacing Arthroplasty Course will be held September 4–5, 2009, at the Marriott Waterfront Hotel in downtown Baltimore. The conference will bring together the world leaders in total hip resurfacing for a combination of didactic presentations, focused discussions, and surgical demonstrations. A focus will be the current principles of patient selection, surgical techniques, and avoiding complications such as femoral neck fracture. Comparisons will be made to the current generation of total hip replacement technology. Pertinent basic science issues will be presented and discussed including femoral head blood supply, implant fixation, tribology, retrieval analyses, pathology, and metal ion exposure. Future directions, such as cementless femoral fixation and the evolution of bearing surfaces, will also be addressed. Click here to see a PDF of the course brochure.
