About this event

From complex cases to success stories — we're bringing together leading hip experts from across Europe for the first-ever Materialise Hip Forum. Spend two days gaining in-depth knowledge and engaging in collaborative discussions.

The focus is exclusively on complex hip arthroplasties, from tackling massive bone loss and pelvic discontinuities to managing infections, fractures, and re-revisions. You'll take away insights from peer-reviewed evidence and real-world clinical outcomes.

The Hip Forum blends scientific sessions, immersive surgical case reviews, and interactive technology demos. Hosted at Materialise headquarters, you'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how pioneering personalized implant solutions transition from virtual plan to patient care.
