As techniques, materials and treatment modalities in Orthopedic surgery are in constant evolution, it is necessary for practitioners to continuously update their knowledge and practice. This symposium will provide a comprehensive update on the latest advances in adult knee & hip arthroplasty, shoulder arthroplasty, joint preservation, advanced recovery & pain protocols; debate the value of new technology and integration within the new paradigm of health care delivery.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This symposium is designed to provide an educational and networking forum to improve knowledge and interaction among Orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, residents, fellows, medical students, research professionals and allied health providers associated with orthopedics.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Economics:

1. Describe the Quality Payment Program (QPP)/MACRA payment resources
2. Define healthcare integrated pathways and bundled care approaches
3. Review the latest trends in technologies & venture capitalism in orthopedics

Shoulder:

1. Review prosthetic evolutions and innovations in shoulder arthroplasty
2. Explain the rationale for patient selection for operative intervention for rotator cuff repairs, shoulder fractures and arthroplasty
3. Discuss the role of biologics in rotator cuff repairs
4. Determine the care of complex shoulder instability: repair or reconstruction?
5. Be aware of the common virtual planning software platforms of shoulder arthroplasty

Knee and Hip:

1. Recognize the rationale and benefits for ACL preserving knee reconstruction surgery in the early arthritic knee
2. Discuss new fixation techniques for ACL surgery and Rehabilitation Protocols
3. Lower Limb Osteotomies for Arthritic and Ligamentous Pathologies
4. Identify and treat peri-operative joint complications
5. Review the current approaches to infection and implant failures

Innovation and Technology:

1. Discuss the role of advanced technology (sensors, robotics, psi,) and muscle sparing approaches
2. Employ the latest approaches to pre-op risk modification and patient risk calculators
3. Identify the role of data, registry and PROMs in joint reconstruction
4. Discuss the advances in non-operative and early intervention in the treatment of joint arthritis
5. Define the role of cartilage preservation, cartilage implantation & stem cells in the arthritic treatment algorithms
6. Recognize the challenges of managing arthropathy in the younger, active patient
7. Define the role of grafts, biologics and balloons
8. Learn about the role of outpatient surgery and accelerated PT protocols
