AOTrauma Course-Foot and Ankle (with Human Anatomical Specimens)
In-Person Event
Sep 14 - 17, 2017
Glendale, Arizona, USA
OVERVIEW
AOTrauma Course-Foot and Ankle (with Human Anatomical Specimens) is organized by AO North America and would be held during Sep 14 - 17, 2017 at Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel and Spa, Glendale, Arizona, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event for practicing Foot and Ankle surgeons, orthopaedic traumatologists and general orthopaedists. This CME Conference has been approved with a maximum of 24.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
AO North America is proud to present the Foot and Ankle Surgery Cadaver Course. The Cadaver Foot and Ankle Surgery Course will include a hands-on laboratory session. Experts in the field will teach on the current techniques for fracture management of lower extremity (foot and ankle) dislocations, reconstructive and salvage techniques for posttraumatic deformities, including an in-depth discussion of appropriate osteotomies, and the current state of total ankle replacement. Faculty will also discuss alternative approaches and techniques to fracture management and reconstructive procedures. In-depth discussions of diagnosis and treatment algorithms for acquired deformities will be covered such as, acquired flatfoot and the cavo-varus foot. Also to be addressed will be topics on metabolic deformities which include osteo porotic fracture management and the neuropathic foot.
There will be a special session which will focus on treatment for sports related injuries. The goals of this course are to provide state-of-the-art diagnosis, treatment, and management of complications associated with foot and ankle injuries and problems. AO principles and techniques will be taught for both the management and treatment of bony and soft tissue surgery. Traditional lectures will be supplemented with group discussions, numerous case presentations, and practical exercises. Participants will have ample time and opportunity for questions and answers with faculty.
Conference Objectives are :
• Apply the principles of complex fractures about the foot and ankle
• Identify problems, complications, and intraoperative difficulties that can result from internal fixation
• Demonstrate current methods of posttraumatic reconstruction
• Apply the principles of soft tissue and bony reconstruction to complex malalignment of the foot and ankle
• Identify common sports injuries and tendonitis occurring about the foot and ankle
• Recognize the principles surrounding the use of osteobiologics in fracture management
