Revision Knee Arthroplasty and Periprosthetic Joint Infection
Current Concepts and Future Directions
Welcome and Introduction
A message from the chairs
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to welcome you to the ESSKA Arthroplasty & Degenerative Knee Focus Meeting, taking place at the NH Hotel Villa Carpegna in Rome, Italy, on 8–9 October 2027, dedicated to “Revision Knee Arthroplasty and Periprosthetic Joint Infection: Current Concepts and Future Directions.”
Revision knee arthroplasty brings together some of the most demanding decisions in orthopaedic practice. Understanding why a knee replacement has failed, choosing the right reconstructive strategy and managing infection require both sound scientific knowledge and practical surgical experience. With this meeting, we aim to create a setting where colleagues can explore these challenges together, exchange perspectives and translate current concepts into everyday clinical practice.
Our programme brings together a renowned international faculty to address the full revision pathway: from assessment and surgical planning to implant removal, fixation, bone defects, alignment and ligament balance. Dedicated sessions will explore osteotomy techniques and the diagnosis and treatment of periprosthetic joint infection, including complex and recurrent cases.
At the heart of the meeting is an emphasis on discussion. Concise expert presentations will lead into challenging clinical cases, interactive exchanges and practical take-home messages. We encourage you to question, contribute and share your own experience as we examine the decisions that shape each stage of revision surgery.
We are also planning re-live surgery sessions to bring participants closer to the operating theatre. Combining case presentations with step-by-step surgical recordings and moderated discussion, these sessions would offer a practical opportunity to examine surgical techniques and the reasoning behind them.
Whether you regularly undertake complex revisions or are developing your practice in this field, we invite you to join us for an engaging exchange of knowledge and experience. Alongside the scientific programme, the meeting will provide an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and build new collaborations in the welcoming setting of Rome.
We look forward to welcoming you to Rome in October 2027.
