Event Overview

This educational summit provides an update on state-of-the-art care of the upper extremity, with a focus on new developments and advancements in hand and wrist surgery. Designed to foster interactions among presenters, experts, and attendees through question-and-answer sessions and scheduled discussions, the conference aims to enhance participants' knowledge base and deepen understanding of the subtleties in various conditions. Topics will cover traumatic, acquired, and congenital disorders in adult and pediatric patients, emphasizing definitive diagnosis; management plans, including surgery and/or referral; innovative techniques for fracture fixation; approaches to upper extremity instability; inflammatory and post-traumatic conditions; and key references from recent publications, along with illustrative case examples. Continuing medical education (CME) credits will be awarded through presentations, discussions, and interactive sessions on these and other relevant orthopaedic topics.

Objectives

- Understand current treatment options for nerve damage in upper extremity conditions. - Diagnose and initiate management or referral for elbow and shoulder instability, inflammatory and post-traumatic arthritis, benign and malignant neoplasms, neuropathic conditions, congenital deformities, and vascular events. - Be familiar with current technologies in upper extremity imaging and pathology for adults and children. - Understand and be capable of deploying innovative technologies, including stem cells, in the treatment of these disorders. - Understand and recognize treatment options and complications associated with advanced technologies, such as computer-assisted surgery, 3D-printed implants, and minimally invasive surgery.
