Travis J. Dekker, M.D., and Jennifer Smith, M.D.<br /><br />Session II (8:02–8:50 a.m.) examines Rotator Cuff pathology, presenting techniques such as bioinductive scaffolds, onlay dermis grafts, subacromial balloon spacers, and tendon transfers, with case discussions led by Don A. Buford, M.D., and Ivan H. Wong, M.D.<br /><br />Sessions III and IV (8:51–10:48 a.m.) focus on Biologics, with the first session discussing regulatory updates, applications for meniscus repair, tendinopathy, rotator cuff, cartilage, and muscle injuries, and billing considerations. The second session delves into PRP (platelet-rich plasma) types, bone marrow aspiration, precision medicine strategies, emerging blood-based formulations beyond PRP, scaffolds, cytokines, pharmacologic agents, and perinatal tissue use.<br /><br />Session V (10:49–11:51 a.m.) addresses Knee Cartilage and Meniscus treatments, exploring new surgical options, management of irreparable tears, algorithms for symptomatic defects, emerging cartilage techniques, 3D scans, patient-specific osteotomies, and preservation strategies.<br /><br />Following a lunch break, Session VI (1:00–1:56 p.m.) discusses ACL and ligament management, including biologic roles, revision strategies, graft timing, slope correction, and multiligament reconstruction.<br /><br />Session VII (1:57–2:27 p.m.) features the AANA Innovations Lecture by George Muschler, M.D.<br /><br />The final session (VIII, 2:28–3:28 p.m.) focuses on the hip, covering borderline dysplasia decision-making, scope versus PAO surgery, injection options, soft tissue repair and reconstruction, and case discussions.<br /><br />The day concludes with closing remarks and adjournment at 3:35 p.m.
