Welcome Letter from President
Come join your colleagues and me in San Francisco for the American Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons’ 2012 Annual Meeting! Experience this opportunity of the finest in orthopaedic
education, research and technology—the excitement of new concepts and advancements in the
orthopaedic arena. We had a great Annual Meeting there in 2008, and I assure you that 2012
promises even more! I hope you’ll be part of this informative orthopaedic event!
As in 2011, new opportunities to learn and earn CME credit will now begin Tuesday morning,
February 7. A record number of 38.5 CME credits will be available! On opening day, in
addition to the newly added symposia and instructional courses, you’ll be able to view the posters and scientific exhibits,
visit the Resource and Job Placement Centers as well as the Multimedia Education Center. The popular Tuesday educational
sessions—such as the Practice Management Symposium and Coding Course for Orthopaedic Residents, and the Practice
Management Symposium for Orthopaedic Surgeons—as well as the family fitness and fun park build will continue to be
offered. Please visit the technical exhibits which open on Wednesday.
Essential to the Academy’s solidity is your support of its superlative assortment of educational programs. Annual Meeting
Committee Chair Chad Price, MD, and his team have created an exceptional program. Along with their respective
committees, Program Committee Chair Mike Stuart, MD, Instructional Course Committee Chair Mark Pagnano, MD,
and Exhibits Committee Chair Bill Seitz, MD, have produced an exciting selection of educational opportunities—from
Adult Reconstruction and Sports Injuries to Maintenance of Certification™, Retirement Planning, and AAOS/Orthopaedic
Research Society combined sessions.
The Annual Meeting offers a variety of carefully selected opportunities:
• 32 symposia by the world’s experts on exciting and timely topics
• 810 papers and 577 posters on the latest scientific and clinical studies
• 215 instructional courses presented by world-renowned faculty
• More than 88 scientific exhibits on extended studies or complex procedures
• Over 450 technical exhibits showing the “latest and greatest” in orthopaedic products and services
• Specialty Day - Saturday, Feb. 11 - offered by 15 Specialty Societies covering the latest news in their fields
Other important Annual Meeting events you don’t want to miss include the Opening Ceremony on Wednesday, Feb. 8, at
4:00 PM, where we kick off the meeting and recognize Japan as this year’s Guest Nation. On Thursday, the Ceremonial
Meeting includes the presentation of the Humanitarian and Diversity Awards, John Tongue’s incoming president’s address,
and the presidential guest speaker.
You will also have the opportunity to explore the very best that San Francisco has to offer - the atmosphere of a California
city with wonderful restaurants and sights to see. The city truly offers great things for every type of visitor and appeals to
every interest, so please share the Social Program that accompanies this Preliminary Program packet and consider bringing
along your family.
I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!

Annual Business Meetings
All Fellows are urged to attend the Annual Business Meetings
held in Gateway Ballroom of Moscone South. The meetings
will be held on Thursday, February 9, 2012, starting at 9:00
AM. There will be one business meeting for the American
Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (“Academy”), the 501(c)
(3) organization, immediately followed by the business
meeting of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons
(“Association”), the 501(c)(6) organization.
2012 Nominating Committee
In May, the Fellowship elected six members of the 2012
Nominating Committee by ballot. The Board of Directors
appointed the Chair of the Nominating Committee in February.
The members of the 2012 Nominating Committee are as
follows:
E. Anthony Rankin, MD (DC), Chair
James R. Andrews, MD (AL)
Champ L. Baker, Jr., MD (GA)
S. Terry Canale, MD (TN)
Lawrence D. Dorr, MD (CA)
Christopher D. Harner, MD (PA)
Ken Yamaguchi, MD (MO)
The 2012 Nominating Committee will provide its slate of
nominees for each vacancy to be filled to the Fellowship in
October 2011. This slate will be voted on at the Association
business meeting on Thursday, February 9, 2012.
2013 Nominating Committee
Nominations for the 2013 Nominating Committee will be
accepted from the floor during the Association Business
Meeting on Thursday, February 9, 2012. All Fellows will
receive a ballot by mail or fax after the 2012 Annual Meeting,
with an opportunity to cast their votes for nominees to fill the
elected positions on the 2013 Nominating Committee.
Bylaws and Standards of Professionalism
Oversight Committee
Proposed amendments to the Academy and the Association
Bylaws and revised Standards of Professionalism (SOPs) will
be considered at the 2012 Annual Meeting if submitted by
September 1, 2011. The Annual Meeting Bylaws Committee
will conduct an Open Hearing to receive comments on the
proposed bylaw amendments and SOPs on Wednesday,
February 8, 2012, beginning shortly after the conclusion of
the Resolutions Committee Open Hearing in Moscone South,
Room 270. It is anticipated that the Bylaws Committee Open
Hearing will begin around 1:30 PM. At the business meetings
on Thursday, February 9, 2012, the Bylaws Committee will
present its recommendations regarding each set of the proposed
amendments to the Bylaws and the revised SOPs. Shortly after
the Annual Meeting, these recommendations will be voted on
by the Fellowship. To be adopted, an amendment to the Bylaws
and the SOPs requires that at least twenty percent of the
eligible Fellows vote and that of those voting, two-thirds vote
to adopt the proposed amendment or SOP.
Resolutions Committee
Any 20 or more Fellows, the majority of the members of the
Board of Directors of a State Orthopaedic Society, a majority
of the members of the Board of Directors of an orthopaedic
specialty society that is a member of the Board of Specialty
Societies, the AAOS Board of Directors, a supermajority of the
Board of Councilors or a supermajority of the member societies
of the Board of Specialty Societies may offer a resolution for
consideration by the Fellowship at the 2012 Annual Meeting.
To be binding on the Academy or the Association, a resolution
must be submitted and considered by the Board of Councilors
and Board of Specialty Societies before being voted upon by the
Fellowship after the Annual Meeting at which it was discussed.
To be considered by the Board of Councilors and the Board
of Special Societies at the Fall Meeting, AAOS must receive
a resolution on or before September 1, 2011, or it must be
submitted to and be voted on by the Board of Councilors and
the Board of Specialty Societies prior to consideration at the
Fall Meeting. Emergency resolutions will be accepted until
January 9, 2012, but only if all other conditions are met.
Copies of each duly submitted resolution will be sent to the
Fellowship in December 2011 or January 2012.
The Annual Meeting Resolutions Committee will hold an Open
Hearing on the resolutions on Wednesday, February 8, 2012,
beginning at 1:00 PM in Moscone South, Room 270. During
the Open Hearing, proponents and opponents may discuss
those resolutions under consideration. At the business meetings
on Thursday, February 9, 2012, the Resolutions Committee
will present its proposed recommendation regarding each
resolution under consideration. Shortly after the Annual
Meeting, these recommendations will be voted on by the
Fellowship. To be adopted, a resolution requires that at least
twenty percent of the eligible Fellows vote and that of those
voting; at least fifty percent must vote to adopt the resolution
as AAOS policy.

Courses are typically the tried and true in orthopaedics.
Several Instructional Courses will feature an Audience
Response System, noted by this symbol .
Multimedia Education Center presents peer-reviewed
videos and multimedia programs and is open in Academy
Hall daily.
Orthopaedic Review Course is an all day review of
general orthopaedics presented by the experts. The review
course is not intended to assist with re-certification.
Paper Presentations take place daily and include new
and exciting research as well as follow up to previous
presentations. In all, over 800 papers will be presented.
Poster Presentations are visual presentations of research
and are located in Academy Hall.
Scientific Exhibits graphically illustrate a study or a
complex procedure and are located in Academy Hall.
Surgical Skills Courses are three hours with an initial
didactic and surgical technique video session followed
by a hands-on simulated bone model lab session. Each
course concludes with discussion, debate, questions and
answers, or illustrative case presentations. Please consult the
preliminary program as prices vary.
Symposia sessions offer a wide variety of subject matter
and feature new and innovative research and information.
They are two hours in length and no ticket is required.
Nine symposia sessions will feature an Audience Response
System, noted by this symbol . These highly interactive
sessions will use audience polling to facilitate discussion.
Several educational events are co-branded with the specialty
society organizations; they are noted by the society logo
next to the session in the program.
Symposia, Instructional Courses, Paper and Poster Presentations, Multimedia Education,
and Scientific Exhibits take place at the Moscone Center.

Measuring Quality and Value in Orthopaedic Surgery:
The Way Forward
Kevin J. Bozic, MD, James Robinson, PhD, MPH
Co-Moderators: Sigurd H. Berven, MD and Charles L. Saltzman, MD
• Patient safety, quality of care, and clinical outcomes in the
care of patients with musculoskeletal disorders are important
priorities for the AOA. Methods for measurement of quality
and value are not uniform, and orthopaedic surgery has
lagged other areas of medicine in the development of a
valid, risk-adjusted system for measurement. Accountability
for quality and value has been identified as a priority in
medicine and has specific relevance to orthopaedic surgery.
The demonstration of comparative effectiveness and the value
of care are important in defining the place of orthopaedic
surgery interventions in the healthcare economy. Our leaders
should understand how to measure quality and value, and be
prepared to advocate for orthopaedic surgery with evidence
that is based upon measures that are translatable to broader
areas of medicine. This symposium is intended to discuss
building developing a national mechanism for data collection and dissemination on safety and outcomes of
orthopaedic treatments.

Presentation Skills Training
They Like You, They Really Like You: Engaging your Audience
with a Message that Sticks #702
Friday, February 10, 1:30 – 5:30 PM
Making a presentation at your hospital or to a group in your
community? If so, this workshop will teach you ways to enhance
the style and substance of your speech, making it both effective
and engaging.
You’ll learn to:
• Target your messages to a specific audience
• Overcome jitters
• Add spice to keep the audience interested (and awake!)
• Incorporate PowerPoint without overdoing it
• Use powerful body language and vocal techniques
Global Objectives
• Develop and refine a perspective on the broad range of
orthopaedic knowledge, care and surgical practice
• Expand and integrate an understanding of the scientific
and clinical tenets of orthopaedic surgery to better treat
and prevent musculoskeletal disease.
• Develop an understanding of economic and practice
management challenges that can lead to strategies that
protect continued access to care for patients and viability
of the profession.
This session is offered complimentary on a first-come, first-served
basis to AAOS Members. Registration is required. Please see the
registration form.
• Provide a forum to strengthen professional relationships
and develop networks that lead to better patient care,
individual surgeon career satisfaction, and a more robust
profession as a whole.
Poster Awards and Breakfast in the Posters
Instructional Objectives
Friday, February 10, 7:00 AM
Awards will be presented to the best poster in each of the 11
classifications at the “Breakfast in the Posters.” One overall winner
will be awarded. If you are unable to join us for breakfast, look for
the yellow ribbon in each classification for the winner and the blue
ribbon for the overall winner. Winners are selected from the top 5
rated abstracts in each classification.
• To facilitate a personalized educational experience through
a comprehensive offering of instructional courses, symposia,
scientific presentations and surgical skills courses.
Scientific Exhibits
A Scientific Exhibit graphically illustrates a study or a complex
procedure. It differentiates itself from a poster presentation in
the amount of material that is presented and uses audiovisual,
interactive demonstration, or some other type of enhancement
in its presentation. Scientific Exhibits provide an opportunity for
in-depth exchange of information and are an excellent medium
for clinical case presentations. Over 80 Scientific Exhibits will
be presented, including special interest exhibits that have been
prepared by AAOS committees and Board of Specialty Societies
(BOS). Three Scientific Exhibits will be chosen by the AAOS
Exhibit Committee to receive an Award for Excellence. Look for
the blue ribbon displayed in the winning booths.
Scientific Exhibit hours are:
Tuesday..............................................8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Saturday.............................................7:00 AM – 5:30 PM
The principal exhibitor or one of the co-authors will be
available at the Scientific Exhibit, Wednesday through Friday
from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM to provide information and
answer questions regarding the exhibit.

Moderator: James R. Kasser, MD
NEW on
Thursday!
Take this opportunity to understand the process, pitfalls,
and critical details important to successful completion
of Maintenance of Certification (MOC™). Our expert
faculty will clarify the mechanics of the MOC™ process
and explain how, step-by-step, to meet the reporting and
application requirements. You’ll also learn about educational
opportunities, patient safety, outcome improvement case
list preparation, and resources available on the AAOS and
ABOS websites. Symposium topics include:
Maintenance of Certification: Where did it come from, is it
important, and what is it?
What is my MOC™ Program, how do I know where I stand,
how do I interact with the ABOS, what are critical deadlines I
need to be aware of, and how will I be aware of these?
“Performance in Practice” Part IV of MOC™. How does one
satisfy this requirement? What is the value of a case list?
CME and SAE. How the AAOS can facilitate MOC™ with
education, and website development with interconnectivity
AAOS to ABOS.
How I keep track of my MOC™ requirements, complete
an application and tips on improving performance on the
recertification computer-based examination.
Introduced in 2011, these well-received innovations are back!

Interactive Signs Answer Your Questions
YOUR NPI AT THE 2012 ANNUAL MEETING
As part of the healthcare reform legislation signed into law
in March 2010, the Physician Payment Sunshine Act requires
medical device, biologic, and drug companies to publicly
disclose gifts and payments made to physicians, beginning
in 2012. For U.S. healthcare providers, companies must
also report any payment or other transfer of items with a
minimum value of $10/payment or cumulatively $100/year
or more to the Department of Health & Human Services
(HHS). The National Provider Identifier (NPI) number, a
unique identification number assigned to each U.S. healthcare
provider, will be used to record and track these transactions.
Although you might not know it, if you have received
payments from the federal government for services you
provided to a patient, you have an NPI number.
To facilitate a quick and accurate record of any transactions
during the 2012 AAOS Annual Meeting that may need to be
tracked and recorded under the law, the AAOS is requesting
that U.S. healthcare providers supply their NPI number as
part of their registration for the meeting. This information will
be included in the bar code data on your badge. It will NOT
be printed on your badge, but will be included in your bar
code encoded data so that exhibitors can record and track any
reportable transactions.
Although supplying your NPI number as part of your Annual
Meeting registration is voluntary, U.S. healthcare providers
should understand that the reporting of transactions with
companies under the Sunshine Act is mandatory.
Your NPI number is public; you may search for it at:
https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/NPIRegistryHome.do
