- This event has passed.
3rd Biennial Arthroplasty Disaster International Conference
September 20, 2018 - September 22, 2018
Course Description
This two-and-a-half day conference will educate attendees on the treatment of the most challenging and difficult complex reconstruction and orthopaedic infection cases. World-renowned experts for orthopedic revisions and musculoskeletal oncology will lecture on the latest technology and techniques, allowing ample time for group discussion. Attendees will discuss, debate, and come to a consensus on the best ways to treat these complex cases. The course has been designed to discuss not only the “good” results, but the worst, most difficult cases and problems we all face. Our bad outcomes or “DISASTERS” concept is a simple one: we all learn more from our mistakes.
Target Audience
Physicians, fellows, senior residents, and other healthcare professionals that see, treat, or have an interest in orthopaedic reconstruction, musculoskeletal oncology, and infection cases.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Evaluate and weigh multiple surgical treatment options for complex reconstructions
• Develop a greater awareness of the latest technology available for difficult infection cases
• Cite the latest clinical findings on complex reconstruction outcome
• Anticipate common complex reconstruction postoperative complications
