8th Annual Los Angeles Orthopedic Trauma Course
In-Person Event

Los Angeles, California, USASpeakers
OVERVIEW
Orthopaedic trauma involves serious injuries to bones and joints, including complex fractures and dislocations that can result in complications. These potentially limb-threatening or life-altering injuries are commonly the result of high-energy trauma from car accidents, falls, sporting activities and industrial accidents, and require critical decision-making strategies for immediate care and surgical interventions. With more patients with complex injuries remaining at the admitting hospital, the responsibility for care rests with surgeons practicing at non-trauma hospitals. This has increased the need for surgeons who take emergency calls to be current with contemporary methods of fracture management.
This conference will present the latest techniques and algorithms for the care of patients with complex upper and lower extremity injuries, hip and femur fractures and tibia and ankle fractures for the benefit of orthopedic surgeons, emergency room physicians and other clinicians and healthcare professionals. Expert faculty will provide insight into soft tissue reconstruction after complex tibial fractures, post-op orthopedic infections, bone grafts and other hot topics using a combination of didactic lectures, case studies, panel discussions and audience engagement.
Learning Objectives :
• Identify emerging technologies and methodologies in the management of upper and lower extremity fractures
• Discuss the emerging role of joint replacement and the optimal clinical application of current and evolving techniques
• Demonstrate timely decision-making strategies in the care of orthopedic trauma patients with hip and femur fractures
• Evaluate recent research and approaches to bone grafts and orthobiologics and the implications for use
• Identify the mechanism of injury and surgical procedures used in repairing shoulder injuries
• Recognize the different types of ankle fractures and select the proper diagnostic evaluation and surgical approach for each type
Price :
Physician : USD 175
Allied Health : USD 150
Resident Fellow Student : USD 90
