2012 Course Schedule
The Sixth Annual Joint Course:
New Technology for the Treatment of Adult Hip and Knee Disorders
August 24–25, 2012
Marriott Waterfront Hotel
in Baltimore, Maryland
Course Directors: Michael A. Mont, MD, Thomas P. Schmalzried, MD, Ronald E. Delanois, MD, and James Nace, DO
Program Directors: Thorsten M. Seyler, MD, and Aaron J. Johnson, MD
AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM: 16
CEU Credit Hours: 1.6
This conference will bring together the world leaders in hip and knee joint preservation and reconstruction for a combination of didactic presentations, focused discussions, and surgical demonstrations. Topics discussed will include new surgical approaches, techniques, prostheses, and computer-assisted surgery/robotics. General topics will include infection, deep vein thrombosis, pain management, rehabilitation, and biologicals. Cost analysis and the economics of total knee and hip arthroplasty will be addressed.
New surgical approaches to the hip will be taught, including the various ways to perform an anterior approach. The pathomechanics, patient selection, and treatment options for femoroacetabular impingement will be discussed. A comprehensive range of standard and resurfacing hip arthroplasty options will be presented, with a focus on the current principles of patient selection, implant selection, and surgical techniques, as well as avoiding complications.
Joint preserving topics will be discussed such as new biologics and knee re-alignment—both traditional and newer schemes. Biological cell regulation therapy, shape matching, cross-linked polyethylenes, and minimally invasive surgery will be tackled. Presentations will include new implant choices for total knee arthroplasty utilizing innovative and less invasive technologies such as robotics and navigation.
Pre-Course: Cadaver Lab
(limited registration)
Thursday, August 23, 2012
Program Director: Ronald E. Delanois, MD
AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM: 7
Orthopedic surgeons will gain first-hand experience in cadaveric dissections using various techniques for the treatment of arthritis and joint preservation of the hip. This lab will include the anterior approach with short stem, hip arthroscopy, shape match, and dual mobility. Due to the low ratio of surgeons to specimens, registration is limited.
