Demands on the orthopaedic surgeon are at an all-time high. The ability to stay current on scientific issues related to implant performance has become more of a challenge as patients become more involved in technology selection that drives lifestyle recovery.

With these needs in mind, Stryker Orthopaedics is pleased to announce the first Orthopaedic Webinar: Wear Matters. This live interactive webinar helped orthopaedic surgeons better understand contemporary bearing technologies in total hip and knee replacements.

Leading surgeons and scientists were on hand to help orthopaedic surgeons improve their understanding of patient selection issues with respect to enhanced polyethylene, metal-on-metal and ceramic-on-ceramic technologies.

The distinguished faculty includes: James D'Antonio, MD, William Hozack, MD, Steven Kurtz, PhD, and John Dumbleton, PhD. Michael Manley, PhD, will moderate the program.

This is the first in a series of virtual seminars sponsored by Stryker Orthopaedics.
