AOCMF North America - Management of Facial Trauma
In-Person Event
May 05 - 06, 2018
Denver, Colorado, USA
OVERVIEW
AOCMF NA Management of Facial Trauma is organized by AO North America and will be held during May 05 - 06, 2018 at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Denver Tech Center, Greenwood Village, Colorado, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is 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.
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 surgeons 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 presents 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.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants should be able to:
• Diagnose facial injury through history, physical examination, and diagnostic investigations
• Formulate 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.
