2 Lake Buena Vista, Florida / February 23 – 25, 2012

Dear Colleagues,

The Magic of Synergy: Challenges in Fracture Care Across Disciplines takes place February 23 – 25, 2012 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Building on the success of the inaugural meeting held in Phoenix in 2010, this meeting is uniquely designed to bring together orthopaedic trauma, craniomaxillofacial, veterinary and spine surgeons to discuss challenges in musculoskeletal disorders and fracture management. Open to surgeons across disciplines as well as fellows and residents, this is the perfect opportunity to learn about the latest ideas and innovations in a multidisciplinary setting. This meeting reinforces the unity of purpose for AONA®. Although our specialties address different issues, we are in concert for a common purpose of excellence, education and improved patient care. This is a valuable forum for learning, networking and demonstrating the solidarity of the specialties that make up AONA.

The meeting begins on Thursday, February 23, with scientific sessions in the afternoon followed by a welcome reception. On Friday, February 24, the plenary session will begin with Guest Speaker, Doctor and Former U.S. Senator Bill Frist’s presentation: A Surgeon-Senator’s Look into the Crystal Ball of Health Care Reform. The meeting ends following a Gala Dinner on Saturday, February 25. The comprehensive scientific program will cover topics of mutual interest to all specialties.

A successful call for abstracts shaped this peer-reviewed scientific program. Abstracts selected will be presented orally or in poster format in the following categories: Critical Bone and Cartilage Defects, Primary Fracture Treatment, Challenges in Fracture Management and Minimally Invasive Surgery. These presentations will offer an exchange of ideas and innovations to the diverse specialties attending this meeting who share the same goals of improving the care of patients (both animal and human) with musculoskeletal disorders and trauma.

Take advantage of this exciting opportunity. My steering committee colleagues, Doctors Chapman, Hubbard, Kriet, Ruggles and I welcome your participation in this exciting scientific meeting.

See you in Florida!

Keynote Address

Friday, February 24, 20128:00 – 9:00 am

A Surgeon-Senator’s Look into the Crystal Ball of Health Care Reform Doctor & Former U.S. Senator Bill Frist

Uniquely qualifi ed to discuss the challenges and solutions in health care policy, Dr. Frist is both a nationally recognized heart and lung transplant surgeon and former U.S. Senate Majority Leader. His presentation will address the massive health care legisla-tion passed by President Obama and the U.S. Congress, which will dramatically transform health coverage in the country. Dr. Frist will discuss how the law is likely to be changed over the coming years and how it will affect citizens, nurses and doctors, insurers and small and large businesses.

Dr. Frist majored in health policy at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs before graduating with honors from Harvard Medical School and completing surgical training at Massachusetts General Hospital and Stanford. As the founder and Director of the Vanderbilt Multi-Organ Transplant Center, he has performed over 150 heart and lung transplants and authored over 100 peer-reviewed medical publications, over 400 newspaper articles and seven books on topics such as bioterrorism, transplantation and leadership. He is board certifi ed in both general and heart surgery.

Dr. Frist represented Tennessee in the U.S. Senate for 12 years where he served on both Health and Finance committees responsible for writing health legislation.

Today Senator Frist is focused on health reform, the basic science of heart transplantation, global health policy, K-12 education reform, economic development in low-income countries, health care disparities and medical mission work in Sudan.

Dr. Frist is currently Adjunct Professor of Surgery at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine’s Department of Cardiac Surgery and Clinical Professor of Surgery at Meharry Medical College of Nashville. Senator Frist is also a Partner of Cressey & Company, LP, a mid-market investment fi rm specializing in healthcare services.


Meeting Information

OverviewThe theme for the 2012 meeting is, “The Magic of Synergy – Working Together for A Stronger Tomorrow.” This unique meeting is designed to bring together surgeons in spine, neurosurgery, orthopaedic trauma, craniomaxillofacial, and veterinary medicine to discuss challenges in musculoskeletal disorders and fracture management. Clinicians and researchers from these diverse specialties share the same goals of improving the care of their patients (animal and human) with musculoskeletal disorders and trauma.

Plenary sessions offer topics of mutual interest such as Applied Basic Science Research, Tissue Engineering, Translational Medicine, Applying Evidence from the Literature into Practice, as well as Financial Planning for Every Career Stage and Legal Tips for Practice Management. Scientifi c sessions will include presentations focusing on the challenges in fracture management, critical bone and cartilage defects, primary fracture treatment and minimally invasive surgery.

From the plenary to the scientifi c sessions, this meeting provides the most current thinking in musculoskeletal disorders and injuries and offers an educational venue with a unique blend of cross specialty collaboration for ideas, innovations and solutions to improving patient care.

Target AudienceThis program is designed for surgeons, residents, and fellows in orthopaedic, craniomaxillofacial, veterinary, and spine surgery.

Learning ObjectivesUpon completion, participants should be able to:-Discuss the latest ideas and innovations in fracture care across disciplines- Describe concepts of fracture treatment and management as applied to both humans and animals

-Translate challenges and solutions in fracture care from one discipline to another- Defi ne approaches to complex fractures from complications and infections to malunion, nonunions and reconstruction

-Review current information on minimally invasive surgery-Evaluate current approaches to critical bone and cartilage defects


CME Information

CME Mission StatementThe Continuing Medical Education (CME) mission of AO North America is to provide comprehensive multidisciplinary education to surgeons, fellows, and residents in the specialties of orthopaedic, craniomaxillofacial, spine, and veterinary surgery in the areas of trauma (i.e., operative reduction and fi xation), degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstruction.

Expected results of AONA’s CME activities for surgeons, fellows, and residents are to:- Increase knowledge and surgical skill level- Apply advances in knowledge in the areas of trauma, degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors,

and reconstructive surgical techniques into patient care resulting in improved competence- Address practice performance gaps by improving management of all aspects of musculoskeletal

injuries and disorders (i.e., pre-operative planning to post-operative care)

Accreditation StatementAO North America is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Designation StatementAO North America designates this live educational activity for a maximum of 19.25 AMA

PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
