We are delighted to announce that this year’s International Masters Anterior Course (IMACx) will take place September 28-30, 2023, at The Westin Houston Medical Center in Houston, Texas.
This course is designed to provide an intensive 3-day education on surgical techniques, including modifications and extensions, for primary and revision anterior total hip arthroplasty. Through a combination of didactic presentations, interactive case-based panel discussions, and live surgical demonstrations, the internationally renowned faculty will share their expertise in the anterior approach as they address current trends in:
- Management of surgical complications
- Prevention of periprosthetic infections
- Hip preservation with the anterior approach
- Diagnosis and treatment of complex cases
- Development of outpatient total joint programs
- Enhanced recovery protocols
- Advanced surgical technologies
- Novel approaches to pain management
Attendees will hear from surgical masters from around the world who are utilizing alternative approaches to hip arthroplasty in a “fireside chat,” participate in “Stump the Faculty” case-based panel discussions, and view surgical broadcasts that will showcase the latest advancements in the direct anterior hip approach.
A 3-hour bioskills lab at the Houston Methodist Institute for Technology, Innovation & Education will feature faculty-led surgical technique demonstrations and hands-on instruction, providing an opportunity for attendees to practice the skills they’ve learned during the course.
