Online Meetings

This online version of the AOSSM 2011 Annual Meeting is designed to identify areas of recent research in the field of orthopaedic sports medicine relevant to practicing physicians, surgeons, and allied health professionals.

Steven P Arnoczky DVM examines the use of biologics to enhance connective tissue repair in: "The Ability of Biologics to Imrpove Orthopaedic Outdomes? Reading Between the Lines of Publsihed Papers." James J Irrgagng PhD, PT, ATC discusses the outcomes measures review process and the criteria used for evaluating the instruments in: "AOSSM Outcome Measures Consensus Task Force: Recommendations for the Use of Knee Outcomes Instruments in Reporting Sports Medicine Research."

Learn to evaluate the optimal use of diverse techniques for six upper extremity procedures when you view these online live surgical demonstrations. After viewing the procedures, you'll be able to formulate surgical protocols and integrate strategies designed to avoid potential complications.

The Clinical Outcomes Research Workshop focuses in identifying basic and cutting-edge clinical research principles and methods. You also learn how to implement evidence-based medicine processes in clinical practice. Selecting clinical outcome measures that are most appropriate for a clinical or research population is also addressed. Learn to apply strateiges to set up your practice to participate in clinical research trials. By the end of this online workshop, you will be able to describe the appropriate uses of different study designs in clinical research. You will also be able to articulate the effects of study design on the conclusion that can be drawn.
