Monday, February 6, 2012 - at the M.A.R.C.
Lab Summary
Wrist/Hand arthroscopy
Faculty demonstration of basic wrist arthroscopy will be followed by presentation of several advanced techniques including:
Faculty will also demonstrate techniques of basal joint and metacarpophalangeal arthroscopy. Surgeon participants will perform exercises on portal placement, diagnostic evaluation and several therapeutic techniques of wrist arthroscopy. Faculty will work with participants in improving technique depending upon skill level of individual surgeons. Participants will also perform arthroscopy of small joints of the hand with discussion on indications and therapeutic options.
Hand and upper limb endoscopy
Faculty will demonstrate a variety of endoscopic procedures about the hand and elbow including:
Participants will have opportunity to practice these techniques on their cadaveric specimen. Elbow arthroscopy
Faculty will present a systematic approach to diagnostic elbow arthroscopy with emphasis on approaching different compartments and emphasizing advantages of the multiple portals demonstrated. Surgeon participants will perform a thorough elbow arthroscopic exam with some simple procedures performed with time permitting. Faculty will work directly at participant tables to emphasize pearls and pitfalls of this rigorous technique.
Lunchtime
PIP and MCP arthroplasty
Faculty will demonstrate their personal preference for silicone arthroplasty of the Metacarpophalangeal joints and metal non-constrained proximal interphalangeal joints with emphasis On surgical approach, indications discussion and technical pearls.
Participants will have opportunity to implant a variety of different prosthesis, silicone and metallic , at both MCP and PIP joints with faculty providing different perspectives at stations throughout the exercise.
Wrist arthroplasty
Faculty will highlight surgical nuances of approach and implant insertion while performing a Total wrist non-constrained arthroplasty of the wrist.
Participants will implant a prosthesis in lab groups with attention to specific technical steps as directed by faculty at different stations. Fluoroscopy will be available to be used throughout the procedure so importance of precision steps during implantation can be emphasized.
*******LAB Day will end at approximately 5:30PM
