Join us for an enlightening lecture as we explore the intricacies of orthopaedic health, focusing on both prevalent and often underdiagnosed conditions. Our expert speakers will guide participants through a comprehensive examination of key contributors to orthopaedic issues, sharing information on leading-edge research, preventive measures, and treatments critical for overall well-being.

The impact of musculoskeletal conditions on the U.S. workforce is staggering, with nearly 364,000 million workdays lost due to these ailments, surpassing the impact of any other health condition. This underscores the pervasive influence of orthopaedic issues on productivity and emphasizes the imperative for effective preventive measures and treatments.

Beyond the individual toll, musculoskeletal disorders exact a substantial economic burden on the U.S. healthcare system. Recent studies reveal that healthcare spending in the United States for these disorders reached a staggering $380.9 billion (JAMA). This stark financial figure not only emphasizes the magnitude of the problem but also underscores the critical need for proactive approaches to orthopaedic care. Addressing these conditions comprehensively is vital for individual well-being and essential for managing the broader economic implications associated with musculoskeletal health.
