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.
