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 wide 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. The Journal of Arthroplasty The Journal of Arthroplasty (JOA) is the official journal of AAHKS. Members find it to be a valuable resource as it brings together the clinical and scientific foundations for joint replacement. Members receive the print journal as well as full-text online access to The JOA for one year with their paid membership dues. One-touch direct access to The JOA is available for your iPad via a free app. Arthroplasty Today The journal Arthroplasty Today brings together the clinical and scientific foundations for joint replacement of the hip and knee in an open-access, online format. Arthroplasty Today solicits manuscripts of the highest quality from all areas of scientific endeavor that relate to joint replacement or the treatment of its complications, including those dealing with patient outcomes, economic and policy issues, prosthetic design, biomechanics, biomaterials, and biologic response to arthroplasty. The journal focuses on case reports.
