Event Details
AO Trauma NA Course - Osteotomy (Lower Extremity Deformity and Nonunion)
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
The course will be delivered using a combination of small group discussions, cases, practical exercises in deformity analysis and correction, and performing osteotomies on anatomical specimens. All activities are moderated by expert faculty in a highly interactive learning environment with a 3:1 participant to faculty ratio. Participants are encouraged to discuss the cases and content in an open manner and to share their own experiences.
Goal of the Course
The goal of this course is to help participants become comfortable with lower extremity deformity analysis and osteotomy planning.
Surgical techniques will be taught to correctly perform deformity correction in the settings of fracture malunions and nonunions and leg length discrepancy while preserving joint health and addressing bone loss.
Target Participants
Practicing orthopedic surgeons and fellows interested in trauma, deformity correction, and lower extremity joint preservation.

Expected results of AONA's CME activities for surgeons, fellows, and residents are to:
• Increase their knowledge base and surgical skill level
• Improve competence by applying advances of knowledge in patient care in the areas of trauma, degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstructive surgical techniques
• Address practice performance gaps by improving management of aspects of traumatic injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., pre-operative planning to post-operative care)
- Identify how to correctly evaluate lower extremity deformity
- List the indications for lower extremity deformity correction
- Perform deformity correction techniques to restore extra-articular alignment
- Utilize operative techniques for intra-articular osteotomies
- Recognize strategies for leg lengthening and bone transport
