Musculoskeletal Ultrasound of the Shoulder, Hip and Spine Training Course will provide hands-on training in musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) of the hip, sacroiliac joint and shoulder. The objective of the course is to enable participants to use MSKUS as a point-of care imaging tool to assist with the diagnosis of painful joint. Leading MSK ultrasound experts will cover ultrasound scanning techniques, sonoanatomy, and sonopathology, including MSKUS examination of hemophilic these groups of joints. Diagnosis of iliopsoas bleeds and trochanteric pain will be highlighted.

Format: Interactive lectures, case presentations, round table discussions, and hands-on scanning.

The course is limited to 20 participants.

Hear from and connect with influential members of the trauma community, many of whom recognized academic authorities, directors of trauma centers or intensive care units, and almost all are leaders in their respective medical centers.

This Basic Principles of Fracture Management course is designed to provide the participant with a fundamental knowledge of the operative treatment of fractures according to the AO principles.

The four guiding AO principles of fracture fixation are:

-Anatomic reduction of the fracture fragments, particularly in joint fractures;
-Stable fixation to ensure proper healing of the fracture while allowing surrounding tissue to move and strengthen;
-Atraumatic surgical techniques to preserve the blood supply to the bone fragments and soft tissue;
-Early, pain-free mobilization returning the patient to function as quickly as possible.
This course will also cover the concepts of absolute and relative stability of soft tissue injury as applied, in context, for each limb segment’s major fracture types.

This course is the foundation for the AO North America curriculum, which teaches the surgeon how to manage trauma and trauma reconstruction. The goal of this course is not to advocate the treatment of all fractures by surgical fixation, but rather, to help ensure that when surgery is carried out, that it is done properly based upon principles, appropriate preoperative planning, and decision making.

This 4-day premier winter meeting will be focused on primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty. The faculty will present insightful commentaries on a variety of hip and knee topics, as well as highlight major healthcare issues related to orthopaedic surgery. Virtually every aspect of joint replacement will be examined through case-based panel discussions, video vignettes, and audience interaction focusing on the latest procedures and technology for hip and knee arthroplasty. The meeting will also examine issues related to the perioperative environment, including thrombosis, wound and pain management, blood conservation, quality mandates, practice management, and economics.

The New England Regional Summit is a discussion forum where nationally prominent local trauma experts interact with community-based orthopedic surgeons who are actively involved in the treatment of patients with fractures.

This informal, almost entirely discussion-based Summit is highly interactive with clinical presentations that include:

-Tips, tricks and techniques on how the faculty tackle clinical problems
-Frank confidential discussions about how to manage cases “on the fringe of normal” – a routine case that isn’t going normally
-Complications and frustrations of the experts and how they dealt with them
Each session incorporates an alternating case presentation-discussion format followed by participant case presentations. All participants are strongly encouraged to bring personal cases for discussion to optimize their personal experience and involvement – you will personally get more out of this course as a result.
