Congenital Deficiencies & Deformities Course

This course will present comprehensive exposure to assessment, planning, surgery, and rehabilitation of patients with Congenital Femoral Deficiency (CFD), Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia (CPT), Fibular and Tibial Hemimelia, Congenital Pterygium Knee, Radial Club Hand, and Congenital Dislocation of the Patella.

The days are structured with morning lectures followed by a short pre-op case introduction to the surgery that will be livestreamed from the Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute’s operating room. Participants will be able to watch such procedures as SUPERhip, SUPERknee, SUPERankle, SHORDT, X-UNION, and Ulnarization, and to pose questions in real time to the surgeon.

Dedicated time has been set aside for participant case presentations; this interactive session provides attendees with valuable feedback from both the course faculty and audience.
