The number of surgeons adopting the Anterior Approach to hip replacement is on the rise, with an estimated 20 percent of hip surgeons now performing the procedure. Medacta, thanks to the
M.O.R.E. AMIS Education Program, is leading the charge in training and supporting surgeons transitioning to this muscle-sparing technique.
“I’m very grateful to Medacta to allow me to emulate my fellowship experience in New Zealand. Medacta’s education and technical support are crucial to success” said Dr. Robert Elliott.
“
Offered as part of the M.O.R.E. Institute, the M.O.R.E. AMIS Education Program is a comprehensive offering for surgeons seeking to become proficient in the technique, including ongoing medical education and dedicated implants and instruments.” said Francesco Siccardi, executive vice president of Medacta International. “
Many surgeons across 31 countries have received training through the program. In the field, surgeons have performed more than 300,000 total hip replacements utilizing the AMIS platform so far.”
The
AMIS technique, informed by decades of clinical experience, is now a succesfully muscle-sparing approach to total hip replacement that is associated with potential positive patient outcomes such as
shorter hospitalization and rehabilitation time, as well as a
faster return to daily activities. Today, the
AMIS technique evolved into the concept of the
AMIS Experience, as it is much more than just a surgical technique, it is a complete set of services which provides for healthcare efficiency supportive of economic and commercial advantages for the hospital & surgeon.
