Look forward to:

• Interacting with peers and faculty during small group breakout sessions
• Discussing cases (including your own if you wish!) with faculty and peers.
• Substantial lab time with hands-on experience using standard as well as advanced instrumentation
• Excellent industry exhibits
• Catered social event on Friday evening

Hear from Faculty of the 2024 Course!

“It is great to hear perspectives from surgeon thought leaders from around the country. I always pick up something new from the course.  The smaller and collegial scale of the course fosters personal discussions and relationship-building which is not possible at larger courses.”

- Nicholas J. Giori, MD, PhD, FAAOS

Who Should Attend?

Orthopaedic surgeons who want to expand their approaches and modernize techniques for total hip or total knee replacement.

Bring your PAs and NPs for a unique opportunity to work together and strengthen your performance as a team! PAs and NPs can attend lectures, view surgical demonstrations, and shadow in the lab.

AAOS will consider the requests of persons with disabilities for reasonable modifications of policies, practices, and procedures or for auxiliary aids and services where necessary to provide them access to AAOS facilities, services and products. AAOS encourages that such requests be made as soon as possible to enhance AAOS’ ability to accommodate the requests. All such requests should be submitted to the AAOS Courses Team at cmecourses@aaos.org
