Essentials in Hard-to-Heal Fracture Management
Chair: Dr Andrew Harrison
Essentials in Hard to Heal Fracture Management is ideal for medical professionals seeking to expand their expertise in contemporary fracture care and improve patient outcomes. Enhance your understanding of the biology of fracture healing, including primary and secondary processes, and gain practical knowledge on managing complex fractures; fracture healing mechanisms; and patient selection criteria for the EXOGEN® Ultrasound Bone Healing System.
The presenters will review clinical data and case studies from diverse patient demographics, allowing you to compare nonsurgical options and surgical interventions. Additionally, you will discover state-of-the-art techniques and best practices in fracture management, focusing on treating septic and at-risk fractures and exploring holistic approaches for hard-to-heal cases. A highlight will be the introduction of the new LIPUS (low-intensity pulsed ultrasound) national registry.

GetMet; A Metal Detector for Clinical Use
Chair: Leo Osterback
Metallic particles, such as screws, wires and other foreign metal bodies in soft tissue and bone can sometimes be a real problem. Sometimes these particles get under the skin accidentally, sometimes intentionally, for instance in fracture treatment. The only method generally available for detecting these metallic particles is the X-ray, which can be costly inconvenient and exposes the patient and the personnel to radiation.
GetMet is a perfect solution. It is an extremely handy device, suitable for detecting all types of metal, including titanium and rust proof metals. In first aid it is suitable for removing metal objects, such as bullets, splinters, nails, metal chips and pins from the body. It can also be used in deeper surgery, for instance in carrying out a laparotomy or a thoracotomy.

Transforming OA Care: Can Orthobiological interventions postpone surgery in younger patients?
How can we address the large treatment gap in OA with the evidence available today? Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease with no current disease-modifying treatments. However, new research is uncovering molecular changes in early-stage OA, guiding better intervention choices. While early OA can often be managed with weight loss and exercise, and severe OA with joint arthroplasty, there remains a treatment gap for moderate OA, especially in younger patients.
This session will delve into the current challenges and gaps in OA treatment, from both conservative and operative perspectives. We'll examine the impact of these gaps on clinical practice and patient outcomes and explore how emerging technologies might bridge them. With the NHS facing a growing waitlist for joint arthroplasty, we'll discuss how to best utilize existing treatments to manage this crisis.
