Annual Report 2017 ┃ AO Institutes
AO Video and Visual Media in production for a live surgical webcast streamed around the world
AO Education Institute (AOEI) New curricula on complex arthroplasty and periprosthetic fractures Two new AORecon courses were designed by surgeon committees using the curriculum development process from the AOEI; AORecon delivered its first complex arthroplasty course during the AO Davos Courses with Michael Huo (US) and Bas Masri (CA) as chairpersons. Focusing on revision and complex cases, this will be available worldwide as the next-level event after the AORecon Principles course. Collaboration between AOTrauma and AORecon, resulted in the Periprosthetic Fracture Management of the Hip and Knee course, offered for the first time at the Davos Courses. New teaching videos and online educational events AO Video and Visual Media (AOVM) worked with surgeons across the AO to ensure that the portfolio of teaching videos covers the latest principles and technical developments, and aligns with all simulation exercises in the curricula. Twenty-seven educational videos were produced and released: AOTrauma (17), AOSpine (five), AONeuro (three), and AORecon (one). AOVM also produced 29 live webinars from the AO studio in Zurich plus five multi-camera live surgical anatomical specimen webcasts from medical institutions throughout Switzerland.
