Conference
On March 20 and 21, 2026, the second edition of the “Current Concepts on Hip & Knee Arthroplasty” congress will take place at the Grand Hotel Punta del Este. This event has become a benchmark in joint reconstruction surgery.
Over two intensive days of scientific updates and exchange of experiences, key topics in hip and knee prosthetic surgery will be explored in depth, including:
• Periprosthetic fractures and infections
• Navigation- and robotics-assisted surgery
• Revision surgeries
• Osteosynthesis rescue
The program includes extensive spaces for interactive discussion and crossfire sessions between invited faculty and participants, fostering debate and collaborative learning.
