2019 UW Spring Visiting Professor Lectureship
Statement of Need
Hip and knee replacements are two of the most commonly done procedures in America and the world. Evidence based indications, patient selection, surgical techniques and implants has been shown to dramatically impact functional outcomes and reduce the morbidity and mortality following arthroplasty. The future need of both primary and revision arthroplasty is expected to explode in the upcoming decades with projections on a parabolic curve.
Furthermore, the importance of high‐quality, multi‐center research focused on optimizing patients preoperatively, streamlined evidence based OR and hospital protocols, and appropriate postoperative follow-up is becoming increasingly clear. Patient‐centered functional outcomes data has become the benchmark to which health care systems are being compared. In order to continue to improve the safety and quality of patient care, innovative research initiatives will be required.
This program will help providers learn how to apply crucial principles to their surgical candidates undergoing primary arthroplasty, as well as, those requiring more complex revision decision making. Providers will also be given an opportunity to understand current multi‐center orthopaedic arthroplasty research programs and consider how similar outcomes research could impact their practices. This CME activity will engage participants through interactive case discussions, journal article review, reviews of current research initiatives, and targeted lectures on acute management and complications of orthopaedic arthroplasty.
Intended Audience
Local and regional orthopedic surgeons, advanced practice providers, athletic trainers, nurses, residents, medical students, and physical and occupational therapists whose scope of practice includes diagnoses and treatment of patients considering hip or knee replacement.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Identify optimization preoperatively with BMI <40, A1C<7, smoking status and nutrition labs.
- Discuss revision hip/knee planning: implants, bone loss, diagnosis
- Describe cementation in arthroplasty: indications, high vs. medium viscosity working time
