Partial knee arthroplasty (PKA) has enjoyed a renewed interest in the last decade. Isolated medial, lateral, and patellofemoral arthroplasty are all becoming the norm for the treatment of compartmental disease. Additionally, bicompartmental arthroplasty has been introduced in an effort to preserve the normal ligamentous structures in appropriate knees. A combination of improved results over previous experiences, newer devices such as mobile bearing PKA and newer patellofemoral replacement designs, and improved implantation techniques including minimally invasive alternatives have driven this excitement. Debate continues to surround, however, the appropriate indications for PKA, particularly involving the patellofemoral joint.
This continuing medical education event will focus on the contemporary issues in PKA, featuring not only traditional didactic lectures but also live surgical demonstrations, and an opportunity for participants to perform these procedures in a human fresh-tissue cadaver laboratory. The indications, contraindications, and outcomes of medial, lateral, patellofemoral, and bicompartmental replacements will be reviewed by a faculty of worldwide experts.
