Overview:

As a company founded by an orthopaedic surgeon and a biomedical engineer, Exactech has a unique perspective on product development. Come learn about our science-driven products and how our wide range of orthopaedic implants, surgical instrumentation and biologics solutions are developed with the primary goal of improving patient outcomes.

This medical education program will be highlighted by two guest speakers: Dr. Albert Burstein will speak on "Biomechanics of Joint Arthroplasty" and Dr. Stephen Li will present “The Science Behind Big Heads, Thin Poly”.
