1-hour
Presented by:
Dr. Brent Norris, Orthopaedic Trauma Services of Oklahoma
Dr. Stephen Quinnan, Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute
Dr. Hrayr Basmajian, Premier Orthopaedic & Trauma Specialists
This course will provide a detailed overview of patella fracture repair, from the fundamentals to techniques for solving more complex fractures by combining bony fixation with soft tissue management, then dive into three real-world cases, before finally finishing with a practical discussion around post-op management and recovery.
Join Dr. Brent Norris, Dr. Stephen Quinnan, and Dr. Hrayr Basmajian as they draw from their own experiences to discuss their time-tested and often novel approaches to repairing patella fractures, from simple transverse fractures to comminuted fractures. They’ll explore the use of the Summit plating system's built-in suture management, address the importance of combining bony fixation with soft-tissue management to address disruptive forces, and come together for a lively dialogue on post-op protocols that can help patients recover more quickly and minimize the risk of a re-operation.
Learning Objectives:
-
Explore transverse, comminuted and other fractures alongside their most common repair techniques
-
Better understand the importance of bony fixation with soft-tissue management
-
With a focus on three real-world cases, learn how the Summit plating system with built-in suture management is being used by practicing orthopaedic surgeons
-
Learn about post-op protocols for speedier recovery and minimized re-operation risk
