  • Brian Benson, DPM, MS, MPH, AACFAS, DABPM and Calvin J. Rushing, DPM, FACFAS

 

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the structural properties, biologic integration principles, and proposed clinical applications of bioinductive implants as they relate to soft tissue augmentation in foot and ankle reconstruction.
  • Evaluate clinical decision-making considerations through case-based review of ankle instability and reconstruction scenarios to determine appropriate indications for biologic augmentation alongside fixation techniques.
  • Apply evidence-informed surgical planning strategies by integrating biologic scaffold technologies with traditional fixation methods to optimize stability, healing potential, and patient outcomes in reconstructive procedures.

 

CONMED gave an unrestricted educational grant for this activity.
