Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) 19th Annual Spring Meeting is organized by Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) and will be held during May 20 - 23, 2018 at Aria Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is orthopaedic surgeons, residents, nurses, and members of the orthopaedic and allied health industries. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 24.25 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, knee, and shoulder replacement. Topics delve into a triad of design, patient factors and technical proficiency responsible for achieving clinical longevity in a hip, knee, and shoulder reconstruction. Hemi and total shoulder arthroplasty topics focus on improved instrumentation, design modularity, evolving surgical techniques, and optimal patient outcomes. An assemblage of contemporary thought leaders will probe the boundaries of these problems and offer solutions for joint pathologies where arthroplasty is indicated.
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, case challenges, and live surgery define the formats of presentation, which provide an optimal learning opportunity for orthopedic surgeons and other allied professionals involved in joint reconstruction.
Conference Objectives are :
• Appraise evolving surgical techniques and implant technologies through didactic and interactive live presentation as well as evaluate early and long-term clinical outcomes.
• Identify problems and concerns relevant to hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty including polyethylene wear, short and long-term tissue response, inter-component failure, and peri-prosthetic fracture.
• 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.
• Appreciate current solution options for hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasty failure where revision is an endpoint and understand the contributory roles of bone loss, soft tissue deficiency, and infection.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
