This meeting is for neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, general surgeons, neurologists, neuroscientists, otolaryngologists, physical therapists, hand therapists, and basic scientists, focused on stimulating research in the field of neural regeneration and restorative neuroscience.

"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.

Attend Pushing The Envelope IN-PERSON or Virtually on Zoom to discuss how we practice orthopaedic trauma surgery.

"The mission of Pushing The Envelope is to safely expand the limits of orthopaedic trauma care and the surgeon practice experience to improve patient outcomes."

Who should attend?
- Practicing orthopaedic surgeons, residents, and fellows

- Physician assistants

- Nurse practitioners

- Physical Therapists

- Orthopaedic company representatives

Conference Objectives:
-Challenge outdated dogma in the practice of orthopaedics.
-Explore emerging practice trends, surgical techniques, and promising technologies in orthopaedic trauma.
-Discuss methods to achieve professional goals, optimize surgical practice, and integrate wellness.
-Scrutinize surgical culture to improve the surgeon practice and life experience.

Join us virtually for the annual Bobby Menges Memorial HSS Limb Deformity Course where experts in alignment and deformity correction will share their knowledge on major advancements in limb salvage and osseointegration (OI) amputation surgery. Topics will include limb salvage procedure, including for bone defect management and after tumor, as compared to amputation, and knee fusion including managing limb length discrepancy, as well as deciding when fusion is indicated. Also learn updates on OI reconstruction procedures, including complication management, soft tissue management and targeted muscle reinnervation, and outcomes. Register today!

Target Audience | This activity is targeted to limb lengthening and complex reconstruction surgeons, pediatric orthopaedic surgeons, orthopaedic trauma surgeons, musculoskeletal tumor and oncology surgeons, podiatrists and physician assistants. Residents, fellows, nurse practitioners, surgical technicians, and medical students can also benefit from attending this activity.

Learning Objectives | HSS continuing medical education activities are intended to improve the quality of patient care and safety. At the completion of the course, the participant should be able to:

Describe and recognize various orthopaedic conditions that can be treated safely with a limb salvage procedure, including for bone defect management and after tumor. They will determine when limb salvage is indicated as compared to amputation.
Describe and be able to incorporate into practice current techniques for knee fusion, including managing limb length discrepancy, as well as deciding when fusion is indicated.
Review evidence-based updates in osseointegration (OI) amputation reconstruction procedures, and discuss components of OI, including complication management, soft tissue management and targeted muscle reinnervation, and outcomes.

Hit the Slopes with IFAF this February! Join us at the Lake Tahoe Resort, the perfect location; just 45 minutes from Reno International Airport and steps away from the Heavenly Valley Gondola and Nevada Casinos.

Scientific Objectives of this program:
To review diagnostic techniques and reconstructive surgical approaches employed in lower extremity surgery.
To review the classical surgical approaches to forefoot deformities.
To increase understanding of pigmented lesions and proper pathological diagnosis.
To better understand and manage such conditions as lower extremity trauma, dislocations and injuries.
