With the continuing understanding of traumatic injuries and technological advances, it is imperative to have a forum that can summarize and discuss these advances to allow for improved care of such patients. Such a forum should incorporate evidence-based medicine and the experience of leaders in the field to share knowledge and techniques, as well as present cost-effective methods to potentially deliver the best clinical results. This half day course will address this and provide education on the most current concepts and techniques for treating patients with orthopedic trauma injuries. This will allow orthopedic surgeons to become aware of new technologies, techniques, and thought processes through lectures and interactive case discussions.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to:

• Develop an operative strategy with an appropriate choice of bone void filler when indicated
• Recognize patient and injury characteristics that warrant nonsurgical versus operative treatment
• Identify the pros and cons of various fracture fixation techniques, timing, and arthroplasty options

TARGETED AUDIENCE

Orthopedic surgeons, residents, fellows, medical students, and physician extenders who participate in the care of patients who have suffered traumatic orthopedic injuries.
