I have just returned from this meeting that was held in Vienna. I’ve been a member of ISTA for several years and it is always an interesting meeting. It brings together surgeons, scientists and engineers who are at the cutting edge of orthopaedic research as applied to joint replacements. There was a great deal of discussion about the problems that have happeend with metal on metal hips hip replacements and a whole session on the excellent results of hip resurfacing. If you’d like to know more, please get in touch!
