"Since 2006, the Extremity War Injuries Symposiums have sought to identify the top orthopaedic research priorities for the wounded warrior and tactical athlete. The purpose of our meetings is to identify the orthopaedic research gaps most relevant to the US Service Member. " - SOMOS Website

This symposium, now in its 16th year, aims to identify and present top orthopedic research for care of the wounded warrior and tactical athlete.

The 20th Annual Winter Meeting will provide clinicians with guidance on how to care for surgical and nonsurgical patients among the joints and sports medicine population. Topics to be discussed include Periprosthetic Fractures; Infection; Dual Mobility; Non-Cemented TKA; Shoulder Arthroplasty Vs. Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF); Osteotomies Around the Knee; and ACL and Beyond. With knowledge of principles and, up-to-date techniques in joint replacement surgery, new strategies in arthroscopy for improved quality of care and enhanced patient outcomes can be implemented into practice.

The Theme: "Accelerating Musculoskeletal Discovery."

The Atlanta Orthopaedic Symposium is designed for orthopaedic surgeons and other healthcare professionals to enhance surgeon competency and provide strategies for treatment and fracture management. A distinguished faculty will present the latest concepts and techniques in orthopaedics using didactic lectures, case presentations, and hands-on workshops.

*Virtual option available*

Currently the following Presentations are planned for the Academy…

Management of Thoracolumbar Burst/Compression Fractures
Correction of Sagittal Malalignment with L5 Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy: A Cadaveric Study
Fractures of the Scaphoid. Case Study and Review of Treatment Options
Minimally invasive decompressive surgery for lumbar central stenosis
Knee and Hip – Tips and Tricks
Sarcopenia and Low Back Pain
High Strength Suture Materials in Orthopedic Practice
Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma of Brain stem
Management of traumatic sub-axial cervical facet subluxation – techniques and approaches

The Tendon Section Conference: Guiding the Future will provide the tendon community with the opportunity to further establish guidelines for tendon research. Topics for discussion include rigor of experimental design, tendon cell lineage, tendon cell culture and bioreactors, methods for biomechanical assessment, methods for histological assessment, and preclinical animal models.

To help guide discussions, the Keynote Speaker, Pamela Robey, Chair of the Skeletal Biology Section at NIH/NIDCR and acting Scientific Director of the NIH Stem Cell Characterization Facility. Dr. Robey will speak to the efforts her program and other researchers have made to properly identify and classify different stem and progenitor cell populations within the bone marrow stroma.

The format of the conference will include group discussions, scientific presentations, and hands-on surgical demonstrations. The last day of the conference will feature demonstrations of clinical anatomy and preclinical surgical procedures at Penn’s Human Tissue Laboratory, which is a state-of-the-art surgical teaching facility. The focus of this session will be to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of preclinical surgical studies in modeling clinical injuries and disease in humans.

In Collaboration with the California and Nevada Societies of Interventional Pain Physicians

This must-attend interventional pain management national meeting offers relevant topics on staying strong in turbulent times, sessions on epidural injections, billing and coding, current practice patterns, the evolution of opioid therapy, and the return of the popular innovation summit.

The Musculoskeletal Biology Workshop (aka Sun Valley Workshop) has a long standing history and is widely recognized for having a major impact on scientific thinking in the field of skeletal biology particularly in areas related to histomorphometry, in vivo animal models, and biomechanics. It is also recognized for its emphasis on training the early career investigator.

The 2021 Course was an intensive, educational experience that afforded 215 attendees from 14 countries and 32 states in the U.S. the opportunity to learn from internationally renowned surgeons. Our faculty conducted hands-on labs and lectured on topics such as assessing limb alignment, planning deformity correction, and correcting limb deformities with internal and external devices. Basic and advanced limb reconstruction concepts and surgical procedures were also presented. We would like to thank our industry sponsors, faculty, Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics’ staff, and volunteers for making this Course possible.

Join us August 24-28, 2022 for the 32nd Annual Baltimore Limb Deformity Course! Pre- and post-courses will also be offered. Please continue to check this web site for the latest information about next year’s events.

As the first in-person International Congress for ISTA after the pause dictated by the world-wide pandemic, it will be an extraordinary opportunity to gather and discuss the many new developments in technologies related to arthroplasty.

Outpatient arthroplasty – new technologies and best practices
Technologies to increase efficiency through AI-powered documentation of surgery and clinic
Wearable and Smartphone technologies for patient engagement, instruction, and monitoring
AI-driven patient instruction to engage patients in rehab, and optimize patient expectations of ‎outcomes
