Orthopaedic Research Day encompasses a day of judged oral presentations by the Florida Orthopaedic Institute Fellows. The conference is designed to allow young investigators the experience of presenting their own research work to their peers and to attending surgeons in a professional and supportive environment. This course also highlights the importance of orthopaedic research and the current areas of investigation within the subspecialties of orthopaedics.

This course is designed to provide healthcare professionals with the most current diagnostic and treatment options in every orthopaedic subspecialty. A distinguished faculty will present recent advances in pediatrics, trauma, & fracture fixation, arthritis, joint reconstruction, sports related conditions, spine surgery, biologics, and physical therapy. Participants will be given ample time for interactive discussions, opportunities to interact with faculty, plus hands-on workshops.

This course provides the practicing hand surgeon with a comprehensive update on treatments for various hand and upper extremity surgery including arthroplasty, reconstruction, fracture care, care of the upper extremity in the pediatric patient, difficult problems in elbow surgery, and shoulder surgery for the hand surgeon. Learners will gain insight into both common and complex problems of the upper extremity, understand indications for surgery, therapy, outcomes of each, and potential complications of intervention. The course format is a mix of lectures, hands-on cadaveric labs, and engaging panel discussions.
