This course is presented by The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) in collaboration with the Indiana University School of Medicine.

Topics:

Shoulder: ACJ, GHJ, SAB
Wrist: Carpal Tunnel, Wrist Joint, deQuervains, CMC
Knee
Hip
Ankle/Foot: Ankle, MTP, Peroneal/Posterior Tibialis
Format: Lectures (Basic Principles/Knobology; Joint Injection Principles – Indications for Ultrasound), live scan demonstration (for landmarks, techniques), hands-on Scanning, cadaver demonstration of injection, joint injection lab cadaver (fresh tissue) practice.

This meeting is for neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, general surgeons, neurologists, neuroscientists, otolaryngologists, physical therapists, hand therapists, and basic scientists, focused on stimulating research in the field of neural regeneration and restorative neuroscience.

The 20th Annual Winter Meeting will provide clinicians with guidance on how to care for surgical and nonsurgical patients among the joints and sports medicine population. Topics to be discussed include Periprosthetic Fractures; Infection; Dual Mobility; Non-Cemented TKA; Shoulder Arthroplasty Vs. Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF); Osteotomies Around the Knee; and ACL and Beyond. With knowledge of principles and, up-to-date techniques in joint replacement surgery, new strategies in arthroscopy for improved quality of care and enhanced patient outcomes can be implemented into practice.

Join us virtually for the annual Bobby Menges Memorial HSS Limb Deformity Course where experts in alignment and deformity correction will share their knowledge on major advancements in limb salvage and osseointegration (OI) amputation surgery. Topics will include limb salvage procedure, including for bone defect management and after tumor, as compared to amputation, and knee fusion including managing limb length discrepancy, as well as deciding when fusion is indicated. Also learn updates on OI reconstruction procedures, including complication management, soft tissue management and targeted muscle reinnervation, and outcomes. Register today!

Target Audience | This activity is targeted to limb lengthening and complex reconstruction surgeons, pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, orthopaedic trauma surgeons, musculoskeletal tumor and oncology surgeons, podiatrists and physician assistants. Residents, fellows, nurse practitioners, surgical technicians, and medical students can also benefit from attending this activity.

Learning Objectives | HSS continuing medical education activities are intended to improve the quality of patient care and safety. At the completion of the course, the participant should be able to:

Describe and recognize various orthopaedic conditions that can be treated safely with a limb salvage procedure, including for bone defect management and after tumor. They will determine when limb salvage is indicated as compared to amputation.
Describe and be able to incorporate into practice current techniques for knee fusion, including managing limb length discrepancy, as well as deciding when fusion is indicated.
Review evidence-based updates in osseointegration (OI) amputation reconstruction procedures, and discuss components of OI, including complication management, soft tissue management and targeted muscle reinnervation, and outcomes.

The 15th Annual Sports Medicine Update is designed and implemented interprofessionally by and for physicians and nurses. This live webinar will be held as two half days and will be led by faculty of the Washington University and St. Louis Children’s Young Athlete Center. This course intends to provide current and state-of-the-art evaluation and management of common sports medicine topics for primary care providers and sports medicine professionals.

In the past year, there have been a number of very significant clinical changes that affect the way we diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate sports injuries incurred by elite athletes, weekend warriors, and patients with active lifestyles.

This comprehensive update provides education for state-of-the-art approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of sports injuries. It also provides a special and timely opportunity to hear directly from world-renowned physician specialists (physiatrists, orthopedists, radiologists), team physicians and athletic trainers for the Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, New England Revolution and New England Patriots, and physical therapists on the cutting edge of rehabilitation about these changes. Education is practical, with updates being coupled with guidance on how to incorporate them into practice to improve:

Treatment outcomes for acute and overuse injuries of the spine, knee, hip, foot, and ankle, along with upper extremity conditions of the shoulder, neck, elbow, hand, and wrist
The effectiveness and expediency of physical evaluations
Appropriate diagnostic imaging and interpretation
Rehabilitation and safe return to play
Non-surgical management of injuries
Decisions to refer patients for surgery
Multidisciplinary team-based treatment with physicians, physical therapists, and athletic trainers
Injury prevention
Treatment of special populations, including NFL football, adaptive sports, ski medicine, performing artists and wilderness medicine
Advances in orthobiologic treatments and shockwave for management of injuries
The format is engaging and attendees are encouraged to pose questions in sessions as well as one-on-one with the national and international experts who will be delivering the updates and education at this event.

June 10: This meeting will be via *Live Stream*
June 11: Hands On Workshops, Ortho Institute, 1500 Owens Street, San Francisco, 8:00am-1:00pm PST

Friday, June 10th, we will have a full day of fantastic speakers who will update us on a variety of sports medicine topics. The focus for our course this year is on what is new and cutting-edge in treating musculoskeletal pain. All of Friday’s content will be on Zoom so you can join us from anywhere!

Saturday, June 11th, we will host an in-person hands-on day of workshops at UCSF Mission Bay to explore the use of ultrasound in sports medicine, new modalities used to treat pain in physical therapy, and offer an opportunity to refine your knee and shoulder exam with our experts! We will also do a networking social to mingle with our UCSF faculty and exhibitors.

You can register for just Friday if you would like only the lecture content, but we love learning and teaching by doing at UCSF so hope that you will make plans to join us on Saturday as well!
