Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) Winter 34th Annual Meeting is organized by Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) and will be held during Dec 13 - 16, 2017 at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, Orlando, Florida, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event for orthopaedic surgeons, residents, nurses, and members of the orthopaedic and allied health industries. This CME conference has been approved for a maximum of 23 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description :
• This meeting will focus on both primary and revision outcomes, surgical approaches, new materials
and design as well as address problems of articulation choice, fixation, bone deficiency, instability,
trauma, and infection for hip and knee replacement.
• Topics delve into a triad of design, patient factors, and technical proficiency responsible for achieving
clinical longevity in hip and knee reconstruction.
• An assemblage of contemporary thought leaders will probe the boundaries of these problems and
offer solutions for joint pathologies where arthroplasty is indicated.
• Plenary commentary, didactic clinical reports, technique videos, debate, and case challenges define
the formats of presentation, which provide an optimal learning opportunity for orthopaedic
surgeons and other allied professionals involved in joint reconstruction.
Course Objectives
• Identify problems, concerns and solutions relevant to primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty
including articulating surface wear, inter-component failure, fractures, infection and bone loss as well
as short- and long-term tissue response.
• Discuss optimal clinical application of current and evolving fixation techniques in primary and
revision procedures including cement, hydroxyapatite, porous coating, press fit, impaction grafting
and evolving porous metal technologies.
• Appraise evolving surgical techniques and implant technologies through didactic presentation as well
as evaluate early and long-term clinical outcomes.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
