By Robert Gaines, MD The organizers and staff of the 62nd Annual Meeting of the Virginia Orthopaedic Society are excited about this year’s event to be held in Virginia Beach. This year’s topics are sure to be of interest to our Virginia surgeons. We have incorporated not only clinical areas of interest, but also speakers covering practice management and emergency room call issues for the state of Virginia. Things to Do While at the Meeting

The Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront hotel, towering 21 stories above the Virginia Beach resort district, offers panoramic views that rank among the very best on the mid-Atlantic coast. Recognized as one of the premier hotels on the Virginia Beach oceanfront, it offers the most luxurious accommodations and superior first-class service.
There are two award-winning restaurants within the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront hotel including Catch 31 - offering the Oceanfront's largest raw bar and fresh seafood selections, Salacia - Virginia's only AAA Four-Diamond Steakhouse, and Sky Bar - featuring Virginia Beach's only roof top bar and infinity pool.
Located adjacent to the hotel is Neptune's Park which hosts nightly entertainment throughout the summer and the Shoppes at 31 Ocean which offers a variety of fabulous boutiques for your shopping pleasure.
The Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront hotel is situated just 20 minutes from Norfolk International Airport and downtown Norfolk, 45 minutes from Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens, five minutes from the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center, and only 10 seconds from the famous Virginia Beach boardwalk and oceanfront.
In an effort to expose the surgeons in Virginia to new techniques and technologies, we have keynote speakers for this year’s event that are pioneers in their respective fields. Dr. Michael Mont will be speaking about the indications, patient selection, benefits, and pitfalls of hip resurfacing arthroplasty. Dr. Charles Taylor will be covering external fixation for the treatment of acute fractures and deformity, with the latest technology and applications of his Taylor Spatial Frame. Sponsors will be offering hands on sawbones laboratories in the afternoon so that surgeons can familiarize themselves with these devices and implants.
