AN OVERVIEW
     

Dear Colleague
It is my privilege to invite you to the 1st International Symposium in Northern India on Mobile Bearing Knee Arthroplasty, to be held at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital on December 29-30,2002.

Arthritis is the fate of man-kind, only the extent of involvement differs from individual to individual. More than 6000 patients undergo total knee arthroplasty each year in India and a much larger figure in the whole world. TKA is among one of the most successful procedures in orthopaedic surgery. The debate continues as to best treatment option regarding total knee arthroplasty fixed bearing prosthetic designs have performed well at 10 to 20 years follow up, but polyethylene wear and patellofemoral complications have been reported. Mobile bearing prostheses were developed in an attempt to reduce some of these problems.
In this symposium our endeavor will be to discus various topics on MBK threadbare and to make the concept of mobile bearing knee as well as the TKA procedure itself more clear. The workshop will explore " Mobile Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty, its design evolution, and clinical experience.
The symposium will include lectures by eminent surgeon in the field and Live Surgical Demonstration by Dr Jean-Louis BRIARD, who is the most prominent figure in knee Surgery in Europe today. Dr. Briard is the pioneer in computer assisted TKA.
