ORTHOPEDIC NURSING SYMPOSIUM
Nurses, physical therapists, physicians and pharmacists came together on October 27, 2014, to gain a better understanding of best practices in orthopedic patient care at the 6th Annual Orthopedic Symposium, presented by Hoag Orthopedic Institute. This year’s information- packed event was sold out, with 128 professionals attending and a waiting list that started in early September. Attendees came from across the state.
Topics covered complex pain management; minimally invasive spine surgery; skin care
with special emphasis on peri-operative pressure ulcers and skin tears; and the favorite event, a live-feed video conference from the operating room of a direct approach anterior hip replacement. During the live feed, participants were able to interact with the surgeon as the surgery was being performed. Along with
the surgery, a lecture focused on anterior hip replacement and normothermia information to prevent infection and produce better patient outcomes. A specialty oncology orthopedic surgeon and oncology nurse navigator provided an introduction on the topic of sarcoma and soft tissue malignancy.
Included was a discussion on the care of the patient and family along the continuum of
care from diagnosis through long-term follow-
up. A presentation about the complexities of arthroscopic and total shoulder replacement was also included in the symposium. The audience enjoyed seeing a 3D model of an arthritic shoulder and how surgical outcomes are being improved due to 3D printing innovation.
