With faculty from Harvard, OrthoCarolina, Duke University, University of Texas at Houston and University of Utah, the Park City Hip and Knee Foundation is one of the best, intimate orthopedic physician meetings in the U.S. and it summer symposium was a must-attend in beautiful Park City, Utah.
Until now. It’s moved online which, of course, opens this excellent meeting to ALL orthopedic physicians. The new Park City symposia series kicks off April 8 by investigating infection management.
Meet the faculty.
- Brigham and Women’s Hospital – Antonia F. Chen M.D.
- OrthoCarolina – Beau J. Kildow M.D.
- University of Texas, Houston – Kenneth B. Mathis M.D.
- Harvard University – Orhun Muratoglu, Ph.D.
- University of Utah – Christopher E. Pelt, M.D.
- Duke University – Jessica Seidelman, M.D., M.P.H. – Infectious Disease Specialist
- Duke University – Thorsten M. Seyler, M.D., Ph.D.
The symposia began in 2015 and quickly earned a reputation for being one of the best in the United States due, in no small part, to its outstanding faculty.
This year’s symposium, a Grand Round series, begins on April 8 (and continues on a monthly basis) and features both the world-class faculty listed above and sessions on modern surgical techniques for which the symposia is best known.
The symposium’s monthly program will cover topics such as:
- Infection Management
- Technology and the Horizon
- Opioid and Pain Management
- R. Efficiency
Each symposium is a lecture followed by discussion with a small faculty team presenting their current research. The 90-minute symposium earns each attendee 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
Michael P. Bolognesi, M.D., PCHK Symposium Course Chair explained the new format to OTW: “Park City Hip & Knee is well-known for its annual summer symposium. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented us with an opportunity to create an online lecture series; our esteemed faculty offer the same great content in the comfort of your home. After we’re all back to work, we’d love to continue these courses in an effort to provide easily accessible orthopedic education.”

Discussion
This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?
Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.
We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
