At the conclusion of the meeting, we will email you a link to complete the evaluation for the 2022 9th Annual Revision Hip & Knee Course. We will send it to the email you used to register. Once you submit the evaluation, you will receive an email with a link where you can download your CME certificate. Please complete the evaluation on a computer so that you can print and save the CME certificate. If you use a mobile device, your CME certificate will not download.
CME credits for didactic sessions will be available to virtual participants (Physicians and Allied Health Professionals only) as long as sessions are viewed via Zoom in real time (i.e., viewing recorded sessions at a later date/time disqualifies CME eligibility).
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and Connecticut Orthopaedic Society. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons designates The International Congress on Joint Reconstruction Revision Hip and Knee Course, June 16 - 18, 2022, in Rochester, Minnesota has been designated for a maximum of 15.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
ICJR’s 2022 9th Annual Revision Hip & Knee Course, scheduled to take place Thursday, June 16, 2022 - June 18, 2022 in Rochester, Minnesota is the ideal course for you if you’re already experienced in primary hip and knee arthroplasty and now want to learn how you can expand your skills in revision procedures. The expert faculty will share the knowledge, principles, and skills they have acquired in their busy revision practices to address a variety of topics, including:
●Extensile exposures.
●Component removal techniques.
●Options for treating periprosthetic infection.
●Evaluation of metal hypersensitivity.
●Component selection.
●Management of extensor mechanism injury
During the bioskills labs, you will have the opportunity for hands-on learning under the direction of some of the top revision surgeons in the country.
Target Audience
Orthopaedic surgeons and other healthcare professionals who have ample experience in primary hip and knee arthroplasty and now those who want to become more proficient in revision hip and knee arthroplasty procedures.
Learning Objectives
●Discuss clinical, radiographic, and laboratory evaluation of a patient who presents with a painful or failed hip or knee arthroplasty
●Evaluate sources of pain to establish a differential diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options
●Identify potential challenges in a revision hip or knee procedure and demonstrate the ability to prepare a preoperative plan that includes evaluation of the appropriate surgical intervention, anticipated blood loss, and necessary implants, bone grafts, and removal tools
●Compare and contrast options to safely and effectively remove existing prosthetic devices while minimizing blood and bone loss and avoiding compromise of motor function, neurovascular injury, and infection
●Discuss the principles necessary to obtain fixation and restore joint stability, kinematics, and function in a revision hip or knee arthroplasty
●Demonstrate removal of well-fixed hip and knee components and cement from cadaveric specimens
●Demonstrate extensile approaches to revision hip or knee arthroplasty, including the extended trochanteric osteotomy and the tibial tubercle osteotomy, in cadaveric specimens
●Evaluate reconstructive options that allow management of bone loss with restoration of maximum mobility
●Identify the steps in evaluating and diagnosing a periprosthetic joint infection in hip and knee arthroplasty patients, including the emerging use of advanced molecular diagnostic tools
●Describe the role of I&D with component retention and subsequent antibiotic suppression therapy in managing acute periprosthetic joint infection in hip and knee arthroplasty patients
●Discuss the pros and cons of articulating versus non-articulating antibiotic spacers in a 2-stage exchange for an infected total hip arthroplasty and articulating versus static antibiotic spacers in a 2-stage exchange for an infected total knee arthroplasty
