OVERVIEW

We are excited to announce the second annual Kinematic Knee Alignment Course. Randomized controlled trials have shown superior clinical outcomes for kinematic alignment (KA) when compared to traditional mechanical alignment (MA) TKA. Now with reported excellent mid and long-term survivorship, KA is becoming a mainstream treatment option. Through lectures and cadaveric sessions, participating surgeons will have the opportunity to learn KA philosophy from world experts and execute surgical techniques with both manual instrumentation and cutting-edge surgical technology.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Orthopedic surgeons in practice performing TKA. Fellows and upper-level residents going intoadult reconstruction.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

As a result of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Define modern knee anatomy and its relationship to KA philosophy
- Explain the differences between Kinematic Alignment, Manual
Alignment and many advertised personalized alignment techniques
- Share published outcomes on KA
- Provide participants with a hands-on cadaver experience with both manual instrumented KA technique and robotic KA technique

ACCREDITATION

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Medical Education Resources (MER) and BroadWater and CCF. MER is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
