Metallimax is the founding corporate sponsor of the Acetabular Academy. This partnership reflects a shared premise: acetabular preparation is one of the most consequential steps in hip arthroplasty, and surgeons deserve a comprehensive, high-caliber source from which to gain information, insights, and surgical techniques. Metallimax underwrote the Acetabular Academy to help bring this informational portal to life as the world’s most compelling educational platform.

The Acetabular Academy is built as a comprehensive portal for orthopedic surgeons and other hip specialists. Content is centered around anatomy, surgical technique, and evidence-based practice in acetabular reconstruction, with practical guidance intended to help optimize the prepared bed and reduce avoidable complications. Faculty are community physicians, total hip specialists, and also global key opinion leaders. The format is deliberately mixed: long-form articles, step-by-step operative video, podcasts on emerging issues and risk/benefit tradeoffs, and case discussion.s The aim is actionable knowledge that can be accessed easily from anywhere in the world and then travel directly into the operating room.

Metallimax’s sponsorship is meant to keep the Acetabular Academy resource free to use and clinically led. The Acetabular Academy is independent and is not moderated by Metallimax. Its role is simply to underwrite the infrastructure so international thought leaders can teach acetabular preparation, cup positioning, revision reconstruction, and related decision-making. Achieving better, more predictable preparation of the acetabulum and bringing this expertise to the next generation of surgeons is the objective.
