Educational Support
Stryker offers a variety of educational support programs that help medical professionals provide high quality health care.

The programs provide education and training on issues in joint reconstruction in three basic formats:

• Didactic presentations and discussions on scientific, technical, and clinical issues
• Interactive Live Surgery Sessions. Small group interaction and analysis during case review/discussioE sessions
• Hands-on training in bioskills workshops and cadaveric labs. The programs feature a world-renowned academic faculty of surgeons and scientists and provide continuing medical education essential in providing ongoing training and access to new and evolving technologies.

The Stryker ABG program
Has been put together to answer an increasing demand of deep insight on the implants that have changed the landscape of Cementless Anatomic hip replacement.

From design rationale to scientific background, from live surgery to clinical history review, the topics addressed cover all the area of interest that allow the surgeons to make evidence based decisions about the implants they use.

The faculty evidently includes the designer group but also guest speakers including international surgeons and engineers.

This program takes place in the state of the art facility of the University Hospital of Nîmes, a city of great culture, history located in Provence, France.

The Stryker MIS Program
The Right Procedure with the Right Implant for, the Right Patient Over a decade of development has produced the opportunity to perform total joint arthroplasty through a less invasive approach. Through the media and the Internet, increased awareness of minimally invasive surgery has gathered pace, driving patient demand for smaller incisions.

The Stryker MIS Program decreases the incision size whilst providing accurate, appropriate, and reducible techniques for total joint replacement.

Accurate specially adapted instrumentation and navigation.

Appropriate instruments and cemented or cementless implants.

Reproductible minimal invasive techniques with potential for accelerated patient recovery.

The ABG MIS Mini Postero-lateral approach training builds on the experience of the ABG seminar and features sessions specific to intensive procedural innovation education including in-depth review of the operative technique and instrumentation, patient selection and a hands-on cadaver workshop.
