Dear Colleagues,

It is a great honor and pleasure for us to invite you to Istanbul for the Primary and Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty Course which will be held on 1-2 March 2019 at Marmara University School of Medicine, in İstanbul, Turkey. 

The Course will bring together orthopedic surgeons from all around the world focusing on knee arthroplasty, in this unique city of İstanbul where Europe and Asia meet. The Scientific Programme, with a mixture of interactive discussions and cadaver practice, will provide the opportunity to share knowledge and experience in the field. 

We believe that the course will provide many opportunities to our colleagues to come together with the key opinion leaders, improve their international network around the world and their skills, and share state of the art topics and inventions in arthroplasty. 

We aim to improve arthroplasty skills of the participants through the course. The participants will also have the opportunity to discover the attractions of the timeless city, enjoy the delicious tastes of Turkish cuisine, and experience the traditional Turkish hospitality. 

We believe that the Primary and Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty Course will be a major event remaining long in the memory of all participants. 

Let’s meet in Istanbul at the beginning of Spring 2019! 

Best regards,

Francesco Falez Co-Chairman	Ömer Faruk Bilgen Co-Chairman	Fatih Küçükdurmaz Course Secretary
