On behalf of the program committee, we would like to invite everybody to the 72nd Annual Meeting of the VOS at The Intercontinental at the Wharf in Washington, DC. The Wharf is Washington’s newest waterfront attraction boasting many restaurants and shops and will surely make a great backdrop for our annual meeting.
Attendees will have the pleasure of hearing from our two keynote speakers; Dr. Joseph Bosco and Dr. Bob Ostrum. Dr. Bosco, vice president of the AAOS from NYU Langone Medical Center, will give us updates on the future direction of the AAOS and the field of orthopaedic surgery. Dr. Ostrum will present on everything you thought you knew about ankle fractures.
The focus of the meeting will include various areas of interest, applicable to surgeons across the state of Virginia in general practice, with specific attention to sports medicine and trauma. This will include debates on ACL reconstruction versus repair, long versus short nails for intertrochanteric hip fractures and foot and ankle symposium on common ankle fractures and their preferred treatment.
Other topics include the use of PRP in clinical orthopaedics, the role of ASC’s in outpatient total joint and spine surgery, and a talk on millennials in the workplace.
The 3rd Annual Resident Quiz Bowl should provide for a spirited competition between residents representing the Naval Training Program in Portsmouth, the University of Virginia, and Virginia Commonwealth University. Also, with our trip up to DC, we welcome guest competition from some of the DC programs. Join us as UVA defends their title against fierce competition.
Plan now to attend the 72nd Annual Meeting at The Intercontinental at the Wharf in Washington, DC, May 3-5, 2019. We thank all of the participants and sponsors in advance for their effort and support of this year’s meeting. The program will include fun and informative sessions that have something to offer everyone. As always, our goal is to enjoy fellowship and scholarship with the best orthopaedists in Virginia. See you there!
