Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

15th Annual Chicago Trauma Symposium will be held August 1-5, 2013 at the Palmer House Hilton.  

Mark your calendars to attend this comprehensive review of the standard of care and latest techniques for complex orthopaedic trauma and fracture care. Three and one half days of lectures, debates, case presentations and hands-on workshops are punctuated by keynote lectures covering a broad spectrum of current topics. This review is essential for board and recertification preparation.

Zimmer- Hands-on Workshop

Zimmer Trauma provides a full portfolio of innovative solutions for orthopaedic trauma.   Zimmer Trauma is known for being the first company to introduce pre-contoured periarticular plates.  Over the past few years Zimmer Trauma has also introduced a new line of polyaxial locking plates, the NCB (Non-Contact Bridging) Plating System, which provides surgeons with the opportunity to change screw positions prior to locking.  The NCB Plating System has recently been expanded to include new plates and screws specifically designed for periprosthetic fractures, offering surgeons the greatest number of options to overcome these clinical challenges.  In addition to its plate line Zimmer Trauma continues to strengthen its IM nail portfolio with the Zimmer Natural Nail System.  The Zimmer Natural Nail System now offers easy-to-use nails for Cephalomedullary, Antegrade Femur, Retrograde Femur and Tibia fractures on a common platform of intuitive instrumentation.   The newest innovative addition to the Zimmer Trauma portfolio is Zimmer MotionLoc Technology, a patented screw design that reduces the stiffness of locked plating constructs and provides micromotion at the fracture site.  Please stop by the Zimmer Trauma booth and/or our website to learn more.   www.zimmer.com.

Smith & Nephew- Hands-on Workshop

“We will be presenting the Trigen Intertan for an Intertrochanteric fracture lab. The Trigen Intertan uses a unique integrated screw construct that gives the surgeon the ability to achieve active linear compression while controlling rotation in intertrochanteric fractures.” The Trigen Intertan nail is indicated for fractures of the femur, including simple shaft fractures, comminuted shaft fractures, spiral shaft fractures, long oblique shaft fractures and segmental shaft fractures; subtrochanteric fractures; intertrochanteric fractures; ipsilateral femoral shaft/neck fractures; intracapsular fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathologic fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting; and bone lengthening and shortening.
