This will provide engagement to the audience. It will provide the audience with useful tips and recommendations so that they can apply them immediately when they return in practice.

This is an area that, as orthopaedic surgeons, we probably have not paid near as much attention to as we should. We tend to focus on the implants that we use and the other technical aspects of the procedure. However, the ability to improve outcomes by focusing on nutrition... is an often underemphasized and overlooked area.

This session is important because not only will we discuss challenges that we face with regards to gender diversity and orthopaedics, but we'll also focus on solutions and real tangible things that each of us can do day-to-day to improve diversity in our field.

As orthopaedic surgeons, we do have exposures to occupational hazards that we don't usually consider this ICL will really address how to mitigate some of these risks and give tips and tricks to really improve our work environment.

The Annual Meeting has the ability to get people from all over the country to talk about different practices and also help integrate trauma with sports with foot and ankle. So you get a better understanding and a more cohesive approach to how we practice orthopaedics.

It'll be a group of both arthroplasty as well as trauma surgeons discussing cases that are most challenging that require a skill set from both of these specialties. A lot of these cases, there's not one right answer. There'll be great debate and a lot to learn.

We are going to have international speakers paired with U.S. speakers and I think that's going to afford great communication and information available to our participants.

Hip arthroscopy has been the most rapidly growing orthopaedic procedure, largely due to the diagnosis and successful treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. But a real danger exists if we ignore other pathologic conditions that can masquerade as FAI and are treatable often with minimally invasive techniques.

I have the honor and the pleasure of moderating a case based presentation on adult reconstruction of the hip. There will be an array of problems that you will face in your practice and this will help you make some rather significant decisions and offer your patients the best when it comes to complex primary and revision hip replacement.

Don't miss OrthoDome at the Academy this February. No matter what your specialty, there will be an experience for you.

After this symposium, you'll be able to bring back to your team and your operating room the most contemporary techniques to reduce post operative pain and opioid consumption for your patients. And most importantly, improve their outcomes.
