AOCMF Management of Facial Trauma - Chicago
In-Person Event
Aug 25 - 26, 2018
Chicago, Illinois, USA
OVERVIEW
AOCMF Management of Facial Trauma is organized by AO North America and will be held from Aug 25 - 26, 2018 at Chicago Marriott O'Hare, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is primarily designed for surgeons in training in the fields of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Otolaryngology, Plastics and Reconstruction, Ophthalmology and Oculoplastics. Practicing surgeons may also find this course beneficial. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 13.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description:
Statement of Need:
Residents in the CMF Specialties may lack adequate training or experience to treat specific trauma to the head and face. The CMF surgeon's main goal during the diagnosis and treatment of trauma to the head and face is to restore patients to their pre-injury state. The diagnosis and treatment of traumatic injuries to the craniomaxillofacial region sometimes present a difficult problem requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Management of these injuries often requires rigid internal fixation that adheres to the AO philosophy for fracture care.
The Management of Facial Trauma course is designed to equip surgeons with the state-of-the-art skills and techniques for treating and managing CMF fractures from trauma, as well as congenital defects, secondary correction of injuries and aesthetic reconstruction. Highlights of the course will include sessions on anatomy, biomechanics, surgical approaches and principles of internal fixation of the mandible and midface.
Experts in the field of CMF Surgery will compare and contrast current methods and provide indications for the use of these techniques. The modular course format will focus on the craniomaxillofacial patient in a conceptual case study and practical exercise format. Participants in small groups will rotate through each module over the two-day course.
These modules compliment both the lectures and the practical exercises by discussing the four AO Principles of Fracture Fixation:
• Anatomic Reduction of the fracture fragments, particularly joint fractures
• Stable fixation to ensure proper healing of the fracture allowing surrounding tissue to move and strengthen
• Atraumatic surgical technique to preserve blood supply to the bone fragments and soft tissue
• Early, pain-free mobilization returning the patient to function as soon as possible
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants should be able to:
• Diagnose facial injury through history, physical examination, and diagnostic investigations
• Formulae a treatment plan (operative and non-operative)
• Perform the specific treatment for facial trauma
• Modify the treatment plan when necessary
• Manage patient follow-up and rehabilitation
• Identify and manage complications
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
