Don't miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and network with industry experts. These sessions showcase the latest products and techniques in Pediatric Orthopaedics, led by esteemed faculty.
Industry Symposium #1: Wednesday, May 8; 12:15PM - 1:15PM
Decision-Making in the Orthopaedic Management of Neuromuscular Patients - OrthoPediatrics,
Benjamin J. Shore, MD, MPH, FRCSC (Boston Children's); M. Wade Shrader, MD (Nemours Children's Health); Ana Presedo, MD (Hôpital Robert Debré)
- Patients with neuromuscular conditions comprise a large part of a pediatric orthopaedist’s practice whether that surgeon focuses on hip preservation, deformity, motion analysis, or spine surgery. The management of these complex patients has become more specialized and involves true multi-disciplinary care even within the orthopaedic department itself. We intend to go through the orthopaedic issues patients and surgeons face throughout the pediatric lifespan, including hip subluxation and dislocation, deformity correction, and scoliosis with an emphasis on both non-operative and operative care, early intervention, pre-operative planning, and the multiple decision points that the surgeon will encounter. We anticipate a highly interactive session with some controversial discussion and a better understanding of the pros and cons of various treatment modalities.
Fragile and Congenital Long Bone Surgical Treatment - PediTST,
Muharrem Inan, MD (Istanbul Ortopediatri Pediatric Orthopedic Clinic); Nicholas Green, MD (Sheffield Children's Hospital)
- A session for those surgeons dealing with Deformity and Congenital Disorders, including Fragility who wish to utilize a system for acute and long-term stability and guidance in patients with an expectation of continual skeletal growth.
The Evolving Role of AI and Modular Solutions in Pediatric Deformity - Medtronic,
Grant Hogue, MD (Boston Children's); Brice Ilharreborde, MD (Hôpital Robert Debré)
- Medtronic is leading this revolution by integrating powerful complementary technologies: artificial intelligence-driven surgical planning, personalized spinal implants, and modular screw system, which together advance standardization and reduced variability. This workshop will provide a unique opportunity to discover how spine surgeons are incorporating these integrated solutions into their practice and how Medtronic is accelerating the transition to a new era of personalized medicine to deliver optimal patient care.
Building Stability: Emphasizing the Toolbox in Pediatric Spinal Deformity Care - Globus Medical
- Join our esteemed faculty for an immersive workshop designed to explore the cutting-edge advancements in pediatric deformity technology. This engaging session brings together industry leaders and experts to delve into the latest innovations from Globus Medical. Techniques and tools designed to help revolutionize the landscape of pediatric spinal care will be discussed.
Industry Symposium #2: Friday, May 10; 12:20PM - 1:20PM
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Disease: Shared Experiences on Different Techniques and the Latest Solutions - Orthofix,
Jill Flanagan, MD (Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta); Cynthia Nguyen, MD (Shriners Children's Southern California); Zagorka Pejin Arroyo, MD (Hôpital Necker-Enfants malades); Ignacio Sanpera MD, PhD (Hospital Universitari Son Espases)
- Through a panel discussion format, this Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) focused symposium will help clear a path for surgeons to better understand this genetic bone disorder, provide them with the knowledge to accurately recognize and diagnose the symptoms, and discuss the orthopedic treatment solutions currently available. The panel of OI-experienced orthopedic surgeons will utilize clinical case presentations to demonstrate the advantages, disadvantages, and clinical evidence of telescopic nails to effectively treat OI. This symposium will conclude with an opportunity for the audience to ask questions of the surgeon panel to provide further clarity and address any undiscussed thoughts. Please join us for a lively, interactive conversation about Osteogenesis Imperfecta and the effective treatment using telescopic nails.
Post HDE Approval: Second Generation VBT Data Explained - Highridge Medical,
Lawrence Haber, MD (Ochsner Health); Daniel Hoernschemeyer, MD (Univeristy of Missouri Health Care); A. Noelle Larson, MD (Mayo Clinic)
- Following FDA HCE approval of a VBT medical device designed to treat AIS, surgeons better understand patient indications. Faculty will present the second-generation outcome data which has shown reduced reoperation rates, improved outcomes, and higher success rates in AIS patients treated with VBT.
AI in Pediatric Surgery - Where will It Bring Us? - nView medical,
Allen Kadado, MD (Nationwide Children's Hospital); John Vorhies, MD (Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford); Cristian Atria, Founder and CEO, nView medical
- Faculty will review the state of AI in surgery and will answer the following questions:
- How is AI impacting surgical planning, surgical imaging and navigation in pediatrics?
- What is coming next and how will AI impact pediatric surgery?
- An interactive session with the audience will ensue to discuss where AI has most potential and where our efforts should be headed.
