Program Description: 

Orthopaedic Grand Rounds Conferences are primarily a didactic conference providing up-to-date knowledge in Orthopaedic Surgery aimed to address gaps in medical knowledge as well as medical decision making that will lead to modified practice and ultimately improved patient outcomes.

Orthopaedic M&M Conferences are a forum for discussing and examining a case or a portion of a case that resulted in an adverse outcome from a practice-based or systems based perspective aimed to include board review-style test questions that will integrate evidence-based best practices into clinical scenarios in orthopaedics resulting in enhanced retention of best practices and improved medical decision making.

Key Words: Orthopaedics, M&M, Surgery

Target audience: 
  • Physicians
  • Residents / Fellows
  • Nurse Practitioners
  • Physician Assistants
  • Nurses
  • Allied Health Professionals
Learning objectives: 

Participants who engage in this educational intervention will be able to:

  • Participants will be able to analyze gait kinematic and kinetic differences between patients treated with hip hemiarthroplasty (HA) versus total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fractures, enabling them to better assess post-operative functional outcomes.
  • Care providers will identify factors associated with unsuccessful Providence bracing and further their understanding of indications for night-time bracing in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. 
  • Physicians will review the relationship between intraoperative administration of tranexamic acid and rates of postoperative development of heterotopic ossification in patients undergoing surgical treatment for traumatic injury to the elbow.
  • Participants will examine the relationship between smoking level and tibia shaft fracture outcomes following operative repair.
  • Physicians will be able to integrate this study's conclusions into evidence-based clinical decision-making regarding the optimal duration of Pavlik harness use and the role of imaging in the treatment plan for developmental dysplasia of the hip.
  • Participants will use quantify rates of manipulation under anesthesia following total knee arthroplasty and the preoperative demographics that may influence manipulation rates.
  • Participants will be able to analyze the influence of the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) and seasonal trends on the incidence and outcomes of Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE), evaluate the underlying factors contributing to these patterns, and apply this knowledge to enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimize the timing of clinical interventions, and inform future research efforts.
  • Participants will evaluate the effectiveness of Twister Cables and Ankle-Foot Orthotics in reducing transverse plane rotations of the pelvis, hip, knee, and ankle during the gait cycle, with the goal of addressing in-toeing and out-toeing gait deformities in pediatric patients.
  • After participating in this session, attendees should be able to; interpret a patient’s Area Deprivation Index (ADI) score, recognize the impact of higher ADI scores on healthcare utilization and recovery metrics, and consider how both age and high ADI may affect post-operative care and patient outcomes following ACL reconstruction. 
  • Physicians treating patients with metastatic peri-acetabular disease will be able to provide the appropriate surgical intervention that is best suited for the patient's tumor presentation, focusing on decreasing surgical morbidity while maintaining functional outcomes.
