MicroPort Orthopedics Italy - Local Medical Education Event
To introduce MicroPort Orthopedics as a brand and let surgeons get closer to our new entity, the Italian Marketing Team decided to
focus on staging multi-regional Medical Education events.
Asiago Hospital, Italy
For this purpose, on June 26 and June 27 MicroPort Italy held an important
local Medical Education event in Asiago (Vicenza), in the North-Eastern part
of Italy, on the ADVANCE® Medial-Pivot Knee Family. The meeting was
titled "Total Knee Arthroplasty State of the Art in Surgical Technique:
ODYSSEY® vs PROPHECY". Faculty for this event was composed of
Dr. Eugenio Vecchini, an Associate Professor at Verona University and
Dr. Cesare Chemello, first assistant at Ospedale di Asiago (Vicenza), the
Italian reference center for the PROPHECY system.
This crossfire didactic debate between our classical ODYSSEY® Instrument
on one side and our PROPHECY system on the other had the aim of
showing surgeons that our ADVANCE® M-P family of products system
can be used in even the most complex cases.
The "Total Knee Arthroplasty State of the Art in Surgical Technique: ODYSSEY® vs PROPHECY” meeting was divided in two parts.
Part One of the meeting was didactic, consisting of surgeon presentations regarding their experience with the ODYSSEY®
instruments and the PROPHECY guides. Part Two was a moderated and interactive live surgery session. During each
session, the faculty led an active discussion session with the attendees both familiar and unfamiliar with the
ADVANCE® M-P system.
The key take-home message from the meeting was that ADVANCE® M-P is a comprehensive family of
products: ODYSSEY® instrumentation offers functionality and flexibility for any kind of
knee surgery while the PROPHECYⓇ guides and system is an optimal
option in more complex cases.
