6:30am – 7:30am Breakfast with Exhibitors
7:00am – 8:00am Instructional Courses
301 Intraoperative Monitoring
Intraoperative neurophysiological techniques help guide
decision making during nerve surgery so that outcome
may be optimized. Background to these techniques, and
their usefulness, will be explored by classical and case
studies. Practical applications will also be emphasized.
David Houlden, PhD
Robert Tiel, MD
Allen Van Beek, MD
302 Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy
Current thinking concerning timing of surgery versus
natural history will be explored. Techniques of nerve transfers
will be described.
Allan Belzberg, MD
Howard M. Clarke, MD, PhD
Scott Kozin, MD
303 Peripheral Nerve Tumors
Diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant peripheral
nerve tumors.
Ab Guha, MD
Rajiv Midha, MD
Robert Spinner, MD
304 Reinnervating Muscle
The course will focus on the consequence of muscle denervation,
physiologic responses during reinnervation, and
the potential techniques to optimize the recovery of function.
Paul Cederna, MD
Tessa Gordon, PhD
William Kuzon, Jr, MD
305 Working Toward a Brain-Body Interface:
Intelligent Functional Electrical Stimulation
For The Upper Extremity
The course will focus on the development of a brain-body
interface, including implementation of existing technologies
to link functional electrical stimulation of the upper
extremity to cortical movement inention.
Robert Ajemian, PhD
Jonathan Winograd, MD
8:15am – 9:15am ASRM/ASPN Panel: Treatment of the Mangled
Hand: A Multidisciplinary Approach
This panel will focus on the surgical approach to the
complex wounds of the upper extremity. Aspects of discussion
will include acute management of soft tissue,
nerve loss, bony instability and revascularization. The
multidisciplinary approach should captivate peripheral
nerve surgeons, microsurgeons and hand surgeons.
