On behalf of the Board of Directors and all the members of the Virginia Orthopaedic Society, welcome to the 68th Annual Meeting located at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia. We have organized a meeting that we believe will be both educational and enjoyable for you and your family. The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia is known for many things, but perhaps above all, for Southern hospitality and elegant charm. This historic Virginia accommodation has welcomed guests, including 22 United States Presidents, as early as the 18th century. The legendary hot springs have drawn visitors from across the country for centuries to partake in water therapy as a source of relaxation and healing. In keeping with the tradition of “taking the waters,” we hope this meeting will rejuvenate you and allow you to connect and reconnect with colleagues from around the state.We have the pleasure of again welcoming exceptional keynote speakers to our annual meeting. Our presidential guest speaker is Dr. Armen Kelikian, an accomplished Professor of Clinical Orthopaedic Surgery at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and four-time recipient of the James K. Stack Teaching Award. Our other keynote speaker is Dr. Daniel Berry, former chair of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Mayo Clinic and past president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery. These guest speakers will help lead our focus on foot and ankle and adult reconstruction, respectively.

AnnualMeeting

1. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of surgical management of Achilles tendon ruptures.

2. Identify which patients may benefit from total ankle arthroplasty.3. Understand the pros and cons of different bearing options in total hip arthroplasty and

where future innovation may be required.4. Discuss current evidence regarding body mass index (BMI) cut-offs for total joint

arthroplasty and the perioperative risks of obesity.5. Discuss the current evidence for various intraarticular knee injections including

viscosupplementation and PRP.6. Understand current management of superior labral tears in the shoulder.7. Understand the use of ultrasound imaging in orthopaedics.8. Discuss recent advances in musculoskeletal imaging techniques.9. Understand and discuss bundled payments in orthopaedic surgery.

V I R G I N I A O R T H O P A E D I C S O C I E T Y

We are also excited about welcoming two excellent non-physician speakers to give us additional perspective on our profession. A man who will need no introduction to basketball fans, former UVA star and professional NBA basketball player Sean Singletary will speak to us about his experiences with hip and knee injuries and refl ections on being an orthopaedic surgery patient. We are also happy to welcome Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY) to discuss Medical Liability Reform, his ideas on safe harbors, expert panels, and alternative dispute resolution.Finally, we are thrilled with the quality of the scientifi c program for this year’s meeting. The number of abstract submissions was more than double that from years past and we had a diffi cult time narrowing these down to just 12 to be highlighted from the lectern. The caliber of scientifi c work coming from the state of Virginia is impressive and encouraging.Please enjoy your time in the beautiful Allegheny Mountains. In keeping with the history of the area, we trust the weekend will be enriching, educational, and relaxing for you and your family. We look forward to seeing you at the opening reception Friday evening and thank you again for coming.Sincerely,Gregory J. Golladay, MDJames A. Browne, MDConference Co-Chairs

Sean SingletarySean Singletary is among the all-time greatest and most popular basketball players in University of Virginia history. A three-time first team All-ACC performer,

Sean scored 2,079 points in his celebrated career finishing in the school’s all-time top ten in scoring, assists, three-pointers, and steals. He is the only ACC player in history to record over 2000 points, 500 assists, 400 rebounds, and 200 steals. UVA fans clearly remember his falling away game-winning overtime shot against Duke in 2007 that helped propel UVA to a first place finish in the ACC standings and a #4 seed in the NCAA tournament. His #44 jersey now hangs in the rafters at John Paul Jones arena. Sean was drafted by the Sacra-mento Kings in the second round of the 2008 NBA draft. His promising professional career was derailed by injuries and he retired from professional basketball in 2014. He now lives in Charlottesville and continues to be active in the community teaching the fundamentals of basketball to the next generation of athletes.
