Age, systemic disease, prior trauma, activity level, gender, mental health status, and other patient-specific factors will be critically examined through a series of panel discussions and keynote addresses in order to highlight the performance predictors.

This first-of-its-kind event brings together specialists in hip, knee, and spine implants and vascular grafts and promises to influence the design and development of next generation implants and treatment regimens in this highly complex field. Make plans now to attend!
