Dear colleagues, dear friends

It is with great pleasure that we announce the first edition of this innovative meeting, THE Revision Knee Meeting or THE RKM.

For most of us THE Partial Knee Meeting is a well-known concept of succesful meetings. It has been going on for the last twelve years in a cycle of four years, about arthroplasty solutions that are not total joint replacements. In analogy, we now introduce the concept of THE Revision Knee Meeting.

Primary knee arthroplasty has been increasing year-over-year for decades. Where volume increases, unfortunately also unwished events and complications occur. Patient satisfaction and functional results are also subjective and patient dependent. Dissatisfied patients will ask for solutions from their index surgeon or one of their colleagues. Revision knee arthroplasty comes with new challenges and difficulties. To be able to help these patients as good as we can, it is important to understand the indication, the mechanism of failure, the possible technical solution, the amount of constraint and fixation needed and the surgical technique to bring these interventions to a successful end.

Education and training can play an important role to obtain all of the above and make a difference for all the National health systems and patients from surgeons attending this meeting. Therefore, we have selected the best revision surgeons from across the globe to come and share their experiences with you.

It is our great honor to organize the first edition of this fabulous meeting, THE RKM 2026 in Antwerp, Belgium. We have the venue, the program and the faculty. Now we only need you, the audience, to make this a challenging and exciting meeting.

The program as you will see will be controversial with a lot of discussions challenging our faculty to share their experiences and results with us.

Attendance is limited, so please don’t wait until the last minute for your registration. Join THE RKM movement now.
