Introducing CHOP OPEN!

We have launched our new and improved learning platform, CHOP OPEN. Learn more and register for free.

This seminar focuses on orthopaedics and was delivered in Salzburg, Austria on Aug. 28 to Sept. 3, 2016. Topics include pediatric upper and lower extremity fractures, arthritis in children, limb deformities and many more.

Pediatric Upper Extremity Fractures

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to describe the basic principles of pediatric fractures; identify and understand treatments for fractures of the wrist, forearm, proximal humerus and clavicle; identify Monteggia, radial neck, olecranon, supracondylar and lateral condyle fractures; and describe sternoclavicular injuries.

Acute Arthritis in Children

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to understand the cardinal features of acute arthritis in children, develop a differential diagnosis of acute arthritis, and know how to evaluate the history and physical examination to guide a diagnosis and preliminary treatment plan.

Pediatric Lower Extremity Fractures

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to understand the general considerations and pitfalls of lower extremity fractures and identify the diagnosis and treatment principles of fractures of the pelvis, hip, femur, knee, tibia, ankle and foot.

Approach to Limb Deformity in Children

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to describe prenatal and history evaluations for limb deformities, and understand how to conduct physical and radiologic evaluations of limb deformities in children.

Chronic Arthritis in Children

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to describe the cardinal features and the common causes of chronic arthritis, in particular, the different subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and understand how to use history and physical examinations to guide a diagnosis and develop a preliminary treatment plan.

Osteomyelitis, Septic Arthritis and Benign Bone Tumors

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to understand the characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of acute and sub-acute osteomyelitis; understand the diagnosis, treatment and complications of septic arthritis; and describe the most common benign bone tumors.

Pattern of Deformity

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to understand the patterns, assessment and treatment of limb length discrepancies, angular deformities and complex deformities.

Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO)/Chronic Noninfectious Osteomyelitis (CNO)

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to understand the features that guide diagnosis of and contribute to clinical outcomes in CRMO/CNO, distinguish CRMO/CNO from other genetic inflammatory bone diseases, and understand the treatment goals and options of CRMO/CNO.

Protecting Bone Health in Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to appreciate the contribution of inflammation, glucocorticoid therapy and altered body composition to altered bone mass and structures in children with rheumatic diseases, understand that long bone and vertebral fracture risk is elevated, and evaluate diagnostic and treatment approaches for children with osteoporosis and those at risk for bone fragility.

Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain

At  the conclusion of the session, participants should be able to differentiate the different types of amplified musculoskeletal pain in children, understand the clues and indications of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and fibromyalgia, and describe the various treatment options and outcomes.
