35th Annual Baltimore Limb Deformity Course 2025

The 35th Annual Baltimore Limb Deformity Courses will take place August 20-24, 2025 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Baltimore.

This Course is intended for orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and allied health professionals who treat lower extremity deformities. No prior experience required. The 2024 Course was attended by over 230 clinicians from 30 foreign countries and 34 U.S. states.

Course Objectives

Introduce basic and advanced concepts in limb alignment, corrective osteotomies, and internal and external fixation for limb reconstruction, including lengthening and realignment. Topics to be covered:

• Single-level and double-level tibial and femoral deformities

• Sagittal and oblique plane deformities

• Rotational deformities

• Foot and ankle deformities

• Monolateral/circular external fixation

• Acute correction techniques

• Gait implications for angular and rotational deformities

• Measurement of deformity on digital radiographs

• Consequences of joint malorientation and malalignment

• Limb lengthening techniques

Following completion of this event, participants will be able to:

• Describe simple and complex lower limb deformities in pediatric and adult patients

• Interpret advances in the field of limb reconstruction and deformity correction

• Identify the optimal location of osteotomies

• Recognize the methodology of minimally invasive internal and external fixation

• Analyze deformities of the lower limb using electronic media technology

• Formulate treatment decisions designed to yield better clinical outcomes
