NONSURGICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR ORTHOPEDIC CONDITIONS – Dr. Marc Gruner
This webinar will review the latest evidence of nonsurgical and minimally invasive treatment options for Orthopedic Conditions. We will focus on topics in regenerative medicine, diagnostic ultrasound, and prevention for optimizing bone health.
KNEE PAIN – Dr. Carey Politzer
This lecture explores the comparative benefits and considerations of nonoperative treatments and minimally invasive surgical options for knee conditions. It will cover conservative management strategies, including physical therapy, medications, injections, and lifestyle modifications, alongside advancements in minimally invasive procedures such as arthroscopy and robotic-assisted surgery.
HAND PAIN – Dr. Jonathan Cui
This lecture delves into the various causes and treatment options for hand and upper extremity pain, covering conditions such as cubital tunnel syndrome, tennis and golfer’s elbow, arthritis, and soft-tissue injuries. It will explore the management of fractures in the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, and shoulder, as well as advanced surgical interventions like arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, shoulder joint replacement, endoscopic carpal tunnel release, and ligament and tendon reconstruction.
SPINE CONDITIONS & TREATMENT OPTIONS – Dr. Eric Feuchtbaum
This lecture explores common spinal conditions, including degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and spinal fractures.

KNEE PAIN: MAKO-ROBOTIC SURGERY – Dr. Mark Peterson
This lecture explores the benefits of Mako Robotic-Assisted Surgery for knee pain, focusing on its precision in partial and total knee replacements. Attendees will learn how this advanced technology enhances surgical accuracy, improves patient outcomes, and leads to faster recovery times compared to traditional knee replacement procedures.
HIP PAIN – Dr. Carey Politzer
This session covers the common causes of hip pain, including arthritis, labral tears, and impingement, along with both nonoperative treatments and surgical interventions. Topics include physical therapy, injections, minimally invasive hip surgery, and total hip replacement options.
SHOULDER PAIN – Drs. Jonathan Cui & Craig Miller
Dr. Cui and Dr. Miller will discuss shoulder pain in-depth, covering conditions such as rotator cuff tears, arthritis, and tendon injuries. The lecture will highlight diagnostic approaches, conservative treatments, and surgical solutions, including arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and shoulder joint replacement, to restore function and reduce pain.
