The web event will be moderated by Lowry Barnes, MD of Little Rock, Arkansas and will take place Friday, January 19 at 5:00 p.m. PST.

On
Tuesday, December 5, at 4:30 pm (MT), Tucson Medical Center in Tucson,
Arizona, will broadcast a live Zimmer MIS 2-Incision Total Hip
Replacement procedure featuring the VerSys® Epoch® FullCoat Hip
Prosthesis and the Trabecular MetalTM Modular Acetabular System with
Longevity® Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene live on OR-Live.com.
The
VerSys Epoch Hip Prosthesis' distinct composite stem design has a low
modulus of elasticity to address concerns about proximal bone
resorption resulting from stress shielding, as well as concerns about
thigh pain that can result from a bending stiffness mismatch between
the prosthesis and natural bone, particularly with larger stems. It was
created to offer an extensively porous-coated implant in larger stem
sizes without a significant increase in stem stiffness when compared to
smaller sizes or proximally coated implants.
On Thursday, November 16, at 6:00 p.m. (MT), LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT will broadcast a live Zimmer MIS Total Knee replacement procedure featuring the Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee, the first knee replacement shaped to fit a woman's anatomy.
This OR-Live.com broadcast is in conjunction with the Zimmer MIS Surgical Solutions in the Hip & Knee Symposium.
On
Monday, November 6, at 6:00 pm (PST), Zimmer, Inc. will broadcast a
live surgical demonstration on OR-Live.com of the Zimmer® MISTM Periarticular
Locking Plate procedure with the 3.5mm Proximal Lateral Tibial locking
plate and the Distal Lateral Femoral locking plate as well as the
innovative instrumentation developed for this tissue-friendly approach
to plating.
With
the Periarticular Locking Plate System, Zimmer offers advanced
solutions for the management of comminuted fractures and fractures in
which deficient bone stock or where poor bone quality is encountered.
The system combines anatomically contoured periarticular plates with
locking screw technology. The unique plate designs feature a
transitioned profile that is thinner in the metaphyseal and thicker in
the diaphyseal areas. Locking screw holes are combined with compression
slots, so that the plates can be used both as locking devices and a
fracture compression device.
