Personalized Arthroplasty Society

What Personalized Arthroplasty Society does

Personalized Arthroplasty Society (PAS) is a private, member-driven professional medical society founded in 2020 and headquartered in Hammond, Indiana, that serves orthopedic surgeons and arthroplasty specialists focused on personalized hip and knee replacement. The society targets healthcare professionals seeking education, research collaboration, fellowship, and professional development in personalized alignment strategies, while also providing a patient-facing Find a Doctor directory to connect patients with member surgeons. PAS operates with a small staff of 1-10 employees and is managed operationally by Prawda Technology Group, which runs the society's website and Wild Apricot membership platform.

The society's core offerings form an integrated educational and community platform: a members-only Video Library; educational resources on Personalized TKA, UKA, and THA; the Personalized Arthroplasty textbook; the KA-Optimized TKA Educational Collective (developed by Dr. Stephen Howell and described by the society as the world's leading free expert-led kinematic alignment resource); a LinkedIn-hosted Clinical Cases Discussion Forum; and a Job Board. Annual scientific meetings form the centerpiece of activity, with the 2026 meeting scheduled for Montreal (September 10-12) and the 2027 meeting scheduled for Munich. PAS supplements the flagship meeting with affiliate events such as the 4th Annual Kinematic Knee Alignment Course and a quarterly Simplify webinar series (TKA, UKA, THA). The society has also established an Indian Chapter, with a first successful instructional course held in New Delhi.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: recurring membership dues (annual tiered structure with applications processed online), one-time event registration fees for annual and affiliate meetings, corporate sponsorship opportunities (with multiple tiers listed for the 2026 meeting), and textbook sales. Distribution is digital-first via the website, social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit), and the Vumedi medical video platform. The society describes itself as an independent organization without parent-company ownership or institutional investor backing, consistent with its non-profit professional society structure.

Others

• Vumedi: Medical video education platform that already hosts PAS content. Comparable as an enabling channel for orthopedic surgical video education rather than a competing society; included because PAS distributes content through Vumedi.

Direct peers

• The Knee Society: A US-based international society dedicated to knee surgery research, education, and arthroplasty. Directly comparable in knee-focused arthroplasty education and surgeon community, with a longer institutional history.
• American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS): The leading US professional society for hip and knee arthroplasty surgeons. Directly comparable to PAS in target audience (hip/knee specialists) and mission (advancing joint replacement practice), though it is far larger and more established.
• The Hip Society: An established US/international society focused on hip surgery and arthroplasty. Direct peer to PAS on the hip-replacement half of PAS's scope (Personalized THA education).
• International Congress for Joint Reconstruction (ICJR): Education-focused organization running meetings and courses for joint reconstruction surgeons. Closely comparable meeting-and-education business model aimed at arthroplasty specialists.
• International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS): International society for knee surgery, arthroscopy, and sports medicine with a strong educational-meeting model. Comparable global professional-society structure and knee-focused arthroplasty content.

Regional players

• European Knee Society (EKS): Regional European society focused on knee arthroplasty research and education. Comparable in knee-replacement surgeon community focus, but geographically centered on Europe.
• Arthroplasty Society of Australia: Australian arthroplasty-focused society within the Australian Orthopaedic Association. Comparable as a regional hip-and-knee arthroplasty society with an annual scientific meeting format.
• British Association for Surgery of the Knee (BASK): UK-affiliated knee surgery society for arthroplasty and ligament surgeons. Comparable in knee-arthroplasty education mission, with a UK geographic focus.

Broad incumbents

• American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS): The largest US orthopedic professional society, covering all orthopedic sub-specialties. Comparable as a membership-and-education organization serving the same surgeon audience, but vastly broader in scope than PAS.
