7th Annual Revision Hip & Knee Course

7th Annual Revision Hip & Knee Course is organized by International Congress for Joint Reconstruction (ICJR) and will be held from Apr 04 - 06, 2019 at Rochester Marriott Mayo Clinic Area, Rochester, Minnesota, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is Orthopaedic surgeons who have ample experience in primary arthroplasty and now want to become more proficient in revision procedures. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 15.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.

Course Description:
This highly interactive, hands-on course features expert faculty, who will share the knowledge, principles, and skills necessary to evaluate arthroplasty patients who have pain, fracture, infection, instability, bone loss, and implant failure. You will learn how to determine an appropriate treatment course, identify potential pitfalls, and either work up and refer or perform revision surgery when indicated. You will also receive solid hands-on training in revision procedures during the bioskills labs included with your registration for the course.

Course Topics:
• Extensile exposure
• Component removal techniques
• Options for treating periprosthetic infection
• Evaluation of metal hypersensitivity
• Component selection
• Management of extensor mechanism injury

Course Objectives:
• Discuss clinical, radiographic, and laboratory evaluation of a patient who presents with a painful or failed THA, hemiarthroplasty, hip resurfacing, TKA, UKA, or patellofemoral arthroplasty
• Evaluate sources of pain to establish a differential diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options
• Identify potential preoperative problems and challenges and prepare an appropriate preoperative plan, including evaluation of safety of surgical intervention, anticipated blood loss, necessary implants, bone grafts, removal tools, etc., when revision surgery is indicated
• Compare and contrast extensile exposure options and options to safely and effectively remove existing prosthetic devices, while minimizing blood and bone loss and avoiding compromise of motor function, neurovascular injury, or infection
• Discuss the principles necessary to obtain fixation and restore joint stability, kinematics, and function
• Demonstrate removing well-fixed components and cement from cadaveric specimens in addition to extensile approaches, including the extended trochanteric osteotomy and the tibial tubercle osteotomy
• Evaluate reconstructive options that allow management of bone loss with restoration.
