4 AOTrauma Course Foot and Ankle (with Human Anatomical Specimens) CME Mission Statement The Continuing Medical Education (CME) mission of AO North America (AONA ) is to provide comprehensive multidisciplinary needs based education to surgeons, fellows, and residents in the specialties of orthopedic, hand, craniomaxillofacial, spine, and veterinary surgery in the areas of trauma (i.e., operative reduction and fixation), degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstruction. Expected results of AONA s CME activities for surgeons, fellows, and residents are to: Increase their knowledge base and surgical skill level Apply and document competencies in areas of relevant advances in knowledge in the areas of trauma, degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstructive surgical techniques into patient care resulting in improved competence Address practice performance gaps by improving management of all aspects of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders (i.e., pre-operative planning to post-operative care)
AOTrauma Course Foot and Ankle (with Human Anatomical Specimens) 5 Course Description AO North America is proud to present the Foot and Ankle Surgery Cadaver Course. The Cadaver Foot and Ankle Surgery Course will include a hands-on laboratory session. Experts in the field will teach on the current techniques for fracture management of lower extremity (foot and ankle) dislocations, reconstructive and salvage techniques for posttraumatic deformities, including an in-depth discussion of appropriate osteotomies, and the current state of total ankle replacement. Faculty will also discuss alternative approaches and techniques to fracture management and reconstructive procedures. In-depth discussions of diagnosis and treatment algorithms for acquired deformities will be covered such as, acquired flatfoot and the cavo-varus foot. Also to be addressed will be topics on metabolic deformities which include osteoporotic fracture management and the neuropathic foot. There will be a special session which will focus on treatment for sports related injuries. The goals of this course are to provide state-of-the-art diagnosis, treatment, and management of complications associated with foot and ankle injuries and problems. AO principles and techniques will be taught for both the management and treatment of bony and soft tissue surgery. Traditional lectures will be supplemented with group discussions, numerous case presentations, and practical exercises. Participants will have ample time and opportunity for questions and answers with faculty.
6 AOTrauma Course Foot and Ankle (with Human Anatomical Specimens) Target Audience This advanced surgical course is open to practicing Foot and Ankle surgeons, orthopaedic traumatologists and general orthopaedists. Enrollment is limited to surgeons and residents who are PGY 4 or higher. It is recommended that participants have a basic knowledge of the AO principles and internal fixation. Learner Objectives At the conclusion of this Course, the participant should be able to: apply the principles of complex fractures about the foot and ankle. identify problems, complications, and intraoperative difficulties that can result from internal fixation. demonstrate current methods of posttraumatic reconstruction. apply the principles of soft tissue and bony reconstruction to complex mal-alignment of the foot and ankle. identify common sports injuries and tendonitis occurring about the foot and ankle. recognize the principles surrounding the use of osteobiologics in fracture management. Accreditation AO North America is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. Designation Statement AO North America designates this live educational activity for a maximum of 23.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
