Welcome!  
Annual Advances Courses are directed at Orthopaedic Surgeons to discuss recent advances in orthopaedics. Topics are also extremely relevant to trainers, physiotherapists, physician assistants, residents, nurses, social workers, and occupational therapists. Now in its eleventh year, our course serves as an outstanding review of the most advance options and techniques in orthopaedics.
 
Programs are specifically designed to provide orthopaedic surgeons and surgical management teams with the current developments in technique and technology. Each course features plenty of one-on-one interaction with some of the leading practitioners of arthroplasty and trauma surgery. By the end of the course, participants will gain insight into patient evaluation and selection, various surgical techniques, results, and potential problems. Participants also learn how to avoid and manage the complications that can arise. We hope you'll join us next year!
