The EHS co-organised Masterclass in Arthroplasty Surgery Thessaloniki (MAST) celebrated a decade, having now run for ten consecutive years!
The MAST Founder and President, Prof Eleftherios Tsiridis (EHS President), invited a distinguished panel of experts selected from all over the world to present their centre’s best research data of the year with video surgery presentation throughout Friday and Saturday, while Sunday was dedicated to the popular hands on workshops.
Delegates were technically educated by the top names giving their invaluable insights in: Personalised arthroplasty; Robotics / Navigation; Complexities for primary & revision arthroplasty; Complications; New implant designs: 3D & customised and Joint preservation.
According to the tradition, the learning was intense, including excellent talks on: COMPLEXITIES AND COMPLICATIONS IN PRIMARY THA, CHALLENGES AND OUTCOMES INCLUDING YOUNG AGE IN PRIMARY ARTHROPLASTY & NEW CONCEPTS, DESIGNS AND TECHNIQUES IN PRIMARY & REVISION JOINT RECONSTRUCTION, with a fantastic keynote lecture on “Femoroacetabular Impingement: Indications and technique for treatment: My experience on 1600 cases” by Prof Javad Parvizi, USA (EHS Member).
Attendees were inspired on COMPLEXITIES & COMPLICATIONS IN REVISION ARTHROPLASTY & UPDATES ON THE FUTURE OF HIP ARTHROPLASTY, where the EHS President Elect, Prof Fares Haddad, addressed: “Τhe expanding evidence base for robotic arm assisted THA”. Following this, ROBOTICS included presentations by 5 colleagues from USA: Antonia Chen, Mike Berend, Matthew Deren, Peter Surace & William Hozack.
