OVERVIEW

We are excited to announce the first 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. We hope you’ll join us in Memphis in October! 

TARGET AUDEINCE

Practicing orthopaedic surgeons performing TKA and joint reconstruction fellows. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

As a result of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• Define modern knee anatomy and its relationship to KA
• Understand differences between KA, MA, and other personalized alignment techniques
• Learn clinical outcomes, survivorship, and future technology advancements related to KA
• Perform surgical techniques using both manual instrumentation and robotic techniques. 

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. Medical Education Resources designates this live activity for a maximum of 10.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
