35th Annual Baltimore Limb Deformity Course

35th Annual Baltimore Limb Deformity Course is organized by LifeBridge Health (LBH), Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society (LLRS) and will be held from Aug 20 - 24, 2025 at Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America.

Description:
This Course will introduce basic and advanced limb reconstruction concepts including limb alignment, limb lengthening, corrective osteotomies, and internal and external fixation.

Course Objectives:
Introduce basic and advanced concepts in limb alignment, corrective osteotomies, and internal and external fixation for limb reconstruction, including lengthening and realignment. Topics to be covered:

• Single-level and double-level tibial and femoral deformities
• Sagittal and oblique plane deformities
• Rotational deformities
• Foot and ankle deformities
• Monolateral/circular external fixation
• Acute correction techniques
• Gait implications for angular and rotational deformities
• Measurement of deformity on digital radiographs
• Consequences of joint malorientation and malalignment
• Limb lengthening techniques

Following completion of this event, participants will be able to:

• Describe simple and complex lower limb deformities in pediatric and adult patients
• Interpret advances in the field of limb reconstruction and deformity correction
• Identify the optimal location of osteotomies
• Recognize the methodology of minimally invasive internal and external fixation
• Analyze deformities of the lower limb using electronic media technology
• Formulate treatment decisions designed to yield better clinical outcomes
