  • 2025 Arthroplasty for Fracture Surgeons
    Product not yet rated Contains 1 Component(s) Includes a Live In-Person Event on 11/06/2025 at 7:00 AM (PST)

    Taking place in 5 Labs, Las Vegas on November 6-7, 2025, Orthopaedic trauma surgeons, while trained in arthroplasty during residency, often feel unprepared in practice. The growing trend of outpatient arthroplasty further emphasizes the need for trauma surgeons to handle acute fractures efficiently, enabling early mobilization and minimizing complications related to surgical delays. Register for this two-day hands on cadaveric course today.

    Dates:

    November 6, 2025 - November 7, 2025

    Location:

    Five Labs, Las Vegas

    • Day 1: Lower Extremity
    • Day 2: Upper Extremity

    Geriatric fractures and periprosthetic fractures are on the rise. Studies highlight arthroplasty as the optimal treatment for specific fractures, including geriatric femoral head and neck fractures, proximal and distal humerus fractures, and distal femur fractures. Additionally, some periprosthetic fractures necessitate revision arthroplasty alongside ORIF to ensure successful outcomes and reduce complications.
