Your engagement and passion continue to push the boundaries of personalized hip and knee arthroplasty, helping us shape the future of patient-specific treatment approaches.
Looking Ahead: The 2025 PAS Annual Meeting in Rome
A key highlight of the upcoming year will be the PAS Annual Meeting in Rome on September 15–16, 2025. This meeting will bring together the world’s most innovative surgeons, engineers, and forward-thinking companies to advance the state of personalized hip and knee arthroplasty for all patients.
During this event, we will explore the different dimensions of personalized arthroplasty, including surgical techniques, implant design, and the management of complex deformities. The world of arthroplasty is rapidly evolving from traditional systematic techniques to more sophisticated, patient-specific, and physiological approaches. If you share our vision and want to be part of this transformation, we invite you to join us in Rome, September 15–16, 2025, for what promises to be a landmark event.
