This online Consultation Corner focuses on surgery under local anesthesia. While WALANT (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) is not new, there are many levels of experience using this technique. During this webinar, we will provide practical top tips and tricks for the practitioner ranging from how to get started in the office and operating room to procedures of varying levels of difficulty and review potential complications including how to reverse the effects of epinephrine in the hand.

This course will present up-to-date information and techniques regarding disorders that are treated by hand surgeons. In addition to covering common conditions and ensuring the participants have the best information and knowledge to provide state-of-the-art care, the course will also review conditions which are less frequently seen and less well understood. This will enable participants to apply current research and knowledge into their clinical practices and provide optimal care to their patients.

Mayo Clinic and American Society of Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) are offering a non-CME course designed for established hand surgeons and hand fellows interested in improving their hand and wrist arthroplasty operative skills. Mayo Clinic faculty members will provide evidence-based overviews covering finger, thumb, and wrist arthroplasty. Case presentations will focus on managing problems and complications which will allow participants to see how experts avoid and approach problems.

The course will be delivered by expert clinicians who can share their practical tips and tricks during the cadaveric lab workshop. Learners will have the opportunity to work with instructors and industry leaders in the cadaveric lab.

The course size will be capped at 30 participants to keep faculty-to-participant ratio low and provide ample time for one-on-one attention in the skills lab.

The Maine Orthopaedic Review has provided orthopaedic board preparation continually since 1959. It presents a unique opportunity for study and review for residents, board candidates, and practicing orthopaedists looking toward recertification. The course is a comprehensive review with strong sections in pediatric orthopaedics, trauma, adult reconstruction, spine, basic science, orthopaedic oncology, hand and upper extremity, and sports medicine. Our faculty are well-known subspecialists with national and international appointments.

The Maine Orthopaedic Review has an extensive online question bank with over 11,000 review questions, linked to our proprietary library of board preparation materials. Our tests are now customizable to adapt to individual learning styles and needs. Spend time in a setting going over questions like the ones you will see on the written boards.

The Maine Orthopaedic Review is the only board review that provides participants with up to 50 AMA Category I CME credits. The Maine Orthopaedic Review is held at Colby College, a typical quaint New England college with a scenic, well-equipped campus. It is the perfect setting to get away from the hustle and bustle and focus on board preparation. At the end of the first week, join us for a world-famous Maine lobster bake as a reward for your hard work and time well-spent.

The rural campus of Colby College offers an ideal atmosphere for study and recreation. Spend two weeks with us in Maine this June!

All classes will be held in the air-conditioned Ostrove Auditorium in the Diamond Building. Casual clothing is the style for all occasions.

Computer-assisted Orthopaedic Education

The computer component of the course provides a unique opportunity for interactive, self-paced individual education with self-assessment exams and online references, throughout the length of the course.

A Computer lab with a small number public workstations are available weekdays from 8 a.m. to midnight. Participants may bring an ethernet-equipped or wireless computer with access (24/7) to these review materials from on-campus locations.

More information about computers at the Review.

Course Objectives

The Maine Orthopaedic Review Course is designed to meet the needs of the board candidate or practicing orthopaedist for a thorough review of current orthopaedic practice.

The registrants will:

Increase their fund of knowledge through daily lectures and course syllabus,
Improve their orthopaedic x-ray interpretative skills through daily unknown cases and discussions with orthopaedic radiologist,
Improve their ability to apply the above skills and knowledge in an examination setting through the use of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Self-Assessment and Specialty Examinations with detailed explanations.
Case Presentations and Discussions

This is a outstanding opportunity for the Oral Examination (Part II) candidate to present cases to a subspecialist and the class, receive important feedback, and hone the skills necessary for board success. Our goal is for each candidate to present all cases at least once to a faculty member, with constructive feedback necessary for passing the oral boards.
