Medacta^® International is proud to announce its biggest event since the creation of the company 10 years ago. In September 2009, the

First World Conference on Anterior Hip Approach

will be held in Zurich with the participation of an internationally recognized faculty. During this event, where more than 400 participants are expected, there will be 2 live surgeries performed with the anterior hip approach. The first one presenting our new resurfacing product called Romax^® and the second one introducing our new femoral stem; the AMIStem, specifically developed for an Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery.

This is the first time that an orthopaedic company has dedicated its R&D activities to conceive and design a new orthopaedic implant for a specific surgical technique. It is for Medacta a logical step to have now a specific event on that topic in combination with the 5 years anniversary of AMIS^®.
