A two-day medical conference on Arthroplasty is expected to open several new vistas and technology for the replacement of knee and hips.
The Elite Arthroplasty Congress 2016 being organised by Max Elite Institute of Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement from Saturday and is themed on ‘Human Care Built on Complex Primary & Revision Arthroplasty’. It will showcase technology created by Designer Surgeons, in the field of knee replacement & hip replacement, through live surgeries.
Dr Manuj Wadhwa, Course Director, said they have been working hard to innovate technologies in Joint Replacement for better clinical outcomes. "Some of the best brains in Orthopaedics & Joint replacement will showcase latest techniques & best practices being followed Globally,” he said.
In Multicompartmental knee resurfacing options, only the damaged portion of the knee joint will be replaced & remaining surfaces of the joint and ligaments can be preserved.
The Mako Robotics Arm Assisted Joint Replacement Surgery will be conducted by Dr Frederick Buechel Jr - a Robotic Surgeon from USA, and will be beamed live, to an expert audience. The second Robotics Surgery through Hand held Navio Robotic instrumentation is by Dr.Jeffrey Geller from USA, this will be conducted at Max Hospital & again will be shown live to delegates at the Congress.
The Congress over two days will see around 8-10 live surgeries that will be beamed live where over 400 delegates attending the Congress will witness these. After the real time demonstration of latest techniques & technology used, there will be panel discussions, debates & brainstorming sessions amongst International and national experts in the field.
The Robotics launch will help in increasing surgery accuracy & reducing trauma. In addition, single day hospital stays in Joint Replacement procedures, will become a reality.
