Case-based webinar around acute and posttraumatic tibia reconstruction cases that are best treated with ring fixation.

This webinar will approach how to build an elective practice in orthopaedic trauma from three perspectives, focusing on various referral types as well as practice types.

Infection Diagnosis, Prevention, and Management

This case-base discussion will provide five cases in geriatric patients with fracture which may best be treated by arthroplasty: 1. Acute acetabular fracture addressed with immediate total hip arthroplasty 2. Acute femoral neck fracture treated with total hip arthroplasty 3. Complex, multi-fragmentary proximal femur fracture treated with revision total hip arthroplasty 4. Acute, complex distal supracondylar/intercondylar distal femur fracture treated with immediate distal femoral replacement total knee arthroplasty 5. Acute, split-depression tibial plateau fracture treated with total knee arthroplasty with metaphyseal augments

This will be a case-based course where we will discuss interesting cases and indications for humeral nailing. Each faculty with have cases that highlights indications, technical pearls, and how to minimize complications. Each case will highlight known complications such as shoulder pain, non-unions, NV injury, mal reductions, etc. and ways to minimize such complications. We will go over operative techniques on how to improve the ease of the procedure as well.

This course will address the controversial area of complex elbow fracture-dislocations, specifically trans-olecranon fracture-dislocations and Monteggia variants. There is little agreement on what constitutes each of these injuries and the appropriate management algorithm. This webinar will clarify the description and classification of these injuries, delineate different approaches for different patterns, and address the technical aspects of fixation, including sequencing of the components of the injury and implant selection. It will be 3-4 short didactic lectures (8-10 minutes each) followed by ample time for case presentations and discussion.

This webinar will cover several topics associated with civilian ballistic orthopaedic trauma injuries including acute treatment of fractures cause by bullets (are they open or closed), management of soft tissue defects associated with entry and exit wounds, treatment of associated vascular and neurologic injury, management of diaphyseal fractures, and management of articular injuries. The webinar will be a combination of case based, audience response, and didactic presentations.

This will be a series of lectures followed by interactive Q&A with the audience on advocacy issues.

This webinar will address the mental health (thoughts, emotions) and social circumstances that can be associated with slower and less complete recovery from injury. We will describe factors important to successful recovery, how to recognize them, and what to say and do. We will also brainstorm strategies for development of comprehensive, biopsychosocial health programming to optimize recovery.
