EDUCATION
The Annual Meeting
The AAHKS Annual Meeting provides an in-depth, peer-reviewed program that educates
members on current evidence-based approaches to hip and knee arthroplasty. The Annual
Meeting addresses a broad array of scientific topics, such as implant design, results, surgical
techniques and complications of primary and revision TJA, as well as the latest information
available on socioeconomic and health policy issues affecting our specialty. In addition, the
Annual Meeting provides the opportunity to see the latest products and services specific to
hip and knee surgery and to network with the leading adult reconstruction surgeons from
around the world.

JOA for one year with their paid membership dues. One-touch direct access to the JOA is
available for iPad via a free app.
