ICJR, Orthopedics This Week Team Up for Hip and Knee Education

The International Congress for Joint Reconstruction (ICJR), an organization offering unparalleled orthopedic educational events and content, is partnering with Orthopedics This Week Virtual Conventions to deliver a robust learning experience titled, “ICJR Insights: Advances in Hip & Knee Arthroplasty.”

The event, designed to assist surgeons in remaining up to date on the latest techniques and technologies for managing hip and knee arthroplasty patients, features didactic presentations and case-based panel discussions. The esteemed faculty members will address issues related to technology for improving outcomes, challenging primary and revision cases, and infection prevention and management.

On four consecutive Wednesdays, participants will experience case-based panel discussions led by luminaries of the joint replacement world. The webinars will be held on September 23, September 30, and October 7.

Residents, fellows and practicing surgeons will gain information on how to identify and compare surgical techniques for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), including new technologies intended to improve outcomes. They will also learn about the ideal preoperative and postoperative care to support optimal patient outcomes and reduce length of stay for total joint arthroplasty, including pain management. Faculty will also provide detailed information on how to evaluate and compare options for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infection following THA or TKA.

By the end of the convention, participants will be able to identify, assess, and compare surgical approaches, tools, and techniques for THA and TKA, as well as have a deeper understanding of current economic and legal trends in healthcare and their potential effects on orthopedic practices. Lastly, attendees will be capable of identifying strategies and techniques for the prevention and management of complications associated with THA and TKA.

This event carries the gravitas of the ICJR, an organization respected for its transparency and inclusivity…an organization that has a solid track record of generous philanthropic contributions for research and education.
