Current Concept Institute/Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) Spring Meeting 2020

Current Concept Institute/Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) Spring Meeting is organized by Current Concept Institute/Current Concepts in Joint Replacement (CCJR) and will be held from May 18 - 20, 2020.

Accreditation Statement:
The Current Concepts Institute is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The Current Concepts Institute designates this live activity for18 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Course Description:
The course is open to orthopaedic surgeons, residents, nurses, and members of the orthopaedic and allied health industries.
• 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 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 surgical procedures define the formats of presentation, which provide an optimal learning opportunity for orthopaedic surgeons and other allied professionals involved in joint reconstruction.

Learning Objectives:
As a result of attending this CME program, the participant will be able to:
• Appreciate current trends in the application of robotics, outpatient surgery, in-situ component placement, and the increasing use of 3D printed porous metals for fixation and bone loss in hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty.
• Appraise evolving surgical techniques and implant technologies through didactic and interactive live presentation as well as evaluate early and long-term clinical outcomes..
• Discuss diagnostic approaches to assess and treat patient specific: post-operative function limitations, pain, peri-prosthetic joint infection, component-induced short- and long-term tissue responses, and peri-prosthetic fractures.
• Apply current solution options for hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty failure where revision is an endpoint and understand the contributory roles of  component design, bone loss, soft tissue deficiency, and infection.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
