Overview

The Eastern Orthopaedic Association (EOA) was established in 1970 under the leadership of Howard H. Steel, MD and 12 other prominent orthopaedic surgeons. Its purpose is to promote, encourage, foster and advance the highest-quality and most cost-effective practice in orthopaedic surgery and matters related thereto, by providing an educational format for the free discussion and teaching of orthopaedic methods and principles among surgeons (both Member and non-Member) and to establish a forum for practicing orthopaedic surgeons to update their knowledge and awareness of new techniques, treatment methods and devices available for patient care, teaching and research using the most appropriate educational methods.

Learning Objectives

Educational objectives will be met through a combination of paper presentations, lectures and workshops in plenary, concurrent and specialty sessions with ample time afforded for open discussion. The following objectives will be addressed during the Scientific Program, such that at the conclusion of this course the attendees will be expected to:

1. Improve their diagnostic, treatment and technical skills in the management of orthopaedic afflictions by assimilation of scientific advances.
2. Discuss basic science paradigms as they relate to treatment advances.
3. Understand some of the basic principles in practice management.
4. Critically assess emerging trends in orthopaedic medicine and evaluate their evidence basis.
