NEW! American Joint Replacement Registry Update
Moderator: David G. Lewallen, MD
Wednesday, March 10, 9:00 – 11:00 AM
Morial Convention Center, Room 210
This free interactive session is intended for orthopaedic surgeons and hospital executives to learn from and interact with leaders of the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR). AJRR was founded in 2009 and is a national, independent, not-for-profit organization with the goal of optimizing patient outcomes through the collection of “core” data on all primary and revision total joint (hip and knee) replacement procedures while saving hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Participants will learn how the AJRR is being developed and operated and the impact on and benefits to orthopaedic surgeons and hospitals.
This program is intended for orthopaedic surgeons specializing in joint replacement (but all members are welcome to attend) and hospital executives.
Forum for Young Orthopaedic Surgeons with the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery
Thursday, March 11, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Morial Convention Center, Room 349
This free annual forum provides senior residents and new practitioners a unique opportunity to meet informally with the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. They will provide you with insightful information about Board requirements and procedures. This special program has done much to “de-mystify” this important step in your career. If you are looking at Part 1 or Part 2 in the near future, you should not miss it!

A Scientific Exhibit graphically illustrates a study or a complex procedure. It differentiates itself from a poster presentation in the amount of material that is presented and uses audiovisual, interactive demonstration, or some other type of enhancement in its presentation. Scientific Exhibits provide an opportunity for in-depth exchange of information and are an excellent medium for clinical case presentations. Over 85 Scientific Exhibits will be presented, including special interest exhibits that have been prepared by AAOS committees and Board of Specialty Societies (BOS). Three Scientific Exhibits will be chosen by the AAOS Exhibit Committee to receive an Award for Excellence. Look for the blue ribbon displayed in the winning booths.
Scientific Exhibit hours are:
Tuesday |
1:00 PM–6:00 PM |
Wednesday – Friday |
7:00 AM–6:00 PM |
Saturday |
7:00 AM–5:30 PM |
The principal exhibitor will be available at the Scientific Exhibit on Wednesday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM to provide information and answer questions regarding the exhibit.
