80036861 - Clinician Portal: Practical Considerations of the Use of Surgical Scaffolds in Soft Tissue Reconstruction

Monday, August 1, 2016, 12:00 AM - Friday, September 28, 2018, 11:59 PM EST


This web-based interactive activity will provide a series of three question-driven learning experiences that will employ patient scenarios and didactic content to highlight key concepts in the effective use of surgical scaffolds.  Web lecture will have a central clinical focus -- patient identification; variations in surgical scaffold options; and post-operative monitoring, evaluation, and management of complications.  Modules (2) will also employ interactive features, including polling questions and peer-to-peer comparisons to actively engage participants.

 
Course content

1. Compare the logistical components, efficacy, and safety of available scaffolding products of various origins.
2. Recognize potential post-operative complications of the various surgical scaffolding strategies.
3. 3. Identify potential patient groups who would most benefit from the use of surgical scaffolds.
4. 4. Explain technical protocols for utilizing various scaffolding products.
