Classification of Periprosthetic Fractures Around the Hip: What Have We Learned in Thirty Years?
It is our pleasure to introduce Dr. Bas Masri, Professor of Orthopaedics at the University of British Columbia and an internationally recognized leader in hip and knee reconstruction. Dr. Masri completed his medical training and orthopaedic residency at UBC, followed by advanced fellowships in Vancouver and at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
In addition to his expertise in joint reconstruction, Dr. Masri is also a practicing musculoskeletal oncologist at Vancouver General Hospital and the BC Cancer Agency. He served as Head of the Department of Orthopaedics at both UBC and VGH for over a decade, and as Surgeon-in-Chief at VGH and UBC Hospitals. In 2006, he founded the UBC Centre for Surgical Innovation and led it until it became part of UBC Hospital in 2017.
Dr. Masri has published over 300 peer-reviewed articles, delivered more than 500 invited lectures around the world, and trained over 120 international fellows. He is a past president of the Canadian Orthopaedic Association and a member of several prestigious societies, including the Hip Society, Knee Society, and International Hip Society.
For the Michael Freeman Honorary Lecture, Dr. Masri will take us through the evolution of periprosthetic femoral fracture classification—from the origins of the Vancouver Classification in 1995 to its modernized version for 2025—reflecting three decades of clinical progress and surgical innovation.
Professor Johan KÄRRHOLM | Sweden
Erwin Morscher Honorary Lecture 2025
🗓 Friday 13 June 2025 | 🕐 12:15 – 12:45 | 📍 Auditorium Lumière, CCCL Lyon, France
How 45 Years of a National Hip Arthroplasty Register Influenced Clinical Practice in Sweden
We are delighted to welcome Professor Johan Kärrholm, one of the world’s leading figures in orthopaedics. Professor Kärrholm is Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Gothenburg and has served as Director of the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register since 2005. Over the course of his distinguished career, he has made pioneering contributions to our understanding of implant fixation, radiostereometric analysis, and registry-based outcomes research.
He has authored hundreds of scientific publications, supervised numerous PhD theses, and has been a driving force in shaping clinical practice through high-quality data and evidence. Professor Kärrholm is a member of the International Hip Society and has received numerous international awards for his research excellence.
For the Erwin Morscher Honorary Lecture, Professor Kärrholm will present “How 45 Years of a National Hip Arthroplasty Register Influenced Clinical Practice in Sweden.” In this lecture, he will emphasize the importance of continuous feedback in healthcare, and demonstrate how the Swedish experience with validated, long-term registry data has led to better patient outcomes, lower revision rates, and occasionally, unexpected conclusions that challenge conventional wisdom.
