Lunchtime Symposia & Workshops

A range of industry lunchtime symposia and workshops are available to all delegates on Thursday and Friday lunchtimes. These are open to all delegates. Please note that these sessions are not CME-accredited.

Thursday 8 October

ILS1 - Industry Lunchtime Symposium 2: Stryker

Auditorium A, 12:45 - 13:35

Session Details:

Global perspectives on integrating arthroscopy and open hip preservation


Join a global panel of hip preservation experts for an interactive discussion on patient selection and decision-making across the full continuum of hip preservation care. Through real-world cases and expert discussion, learn the key considerations that guide decisions between isolated hip arthroscopy, combined hip arthroscopy with PAO, DFO, and other treatment strategies. The faculty will also share clinical outcomes,

technical pearls, and lessons learned to help optimize patient care.
