Ortho Workshop

We had an action-packed workshop in orthopedics that included total knee replacement, total hip, and rotator cuff arthroscopy. About 80 surgeons participated in the international workshop where we all learned about the latest techniques and tools, including a new impact drill that sounded (and felt) like a jack hammer with a foot-long bit for reaming the femur for a hip prosthetic. We had plenty of opportunity to practice suturing on fresh cadavers as we closed 4 hips and knees. We were taught a few suturing tricks from Methodist surgeons like one-handed suturing. Cool day at the office.
