Peer-to-Peer Summit Week: Patient Specific Guides for Pelvic Limb Deformity Correction

June 12 - 13, 2025

Course Description

Due to popular demand, our annual 2-day Peer-to-Peer Summit has expanded to Peer-to-Peer Summit Week in 2025, with 2 back-to-back courses designed to dovetail with one another. The Patello-Femoral Joint Disorders course will be followed by Patient-Specific Guides (PSG’s) for Pelvic Limb Deformity Correction. Register early for both courses for $595 in savings.

We listened to your feedback, so if you took the Patello-Femoral Joint Disorders course in 2023, this PSG’s for Pelvic Limb Deformity Correction course was designed to be your next step.

This PSG’s for Pelvic Limb Deformity Correction course is designed for ACVS Specialists and Residents to embrace this exciting new era of ALD treatment. Perhaps you’ve used a PSG for a clinical case or you’ve heard from others who have … so you’re excited about their advantages, but do you know about their pitfalls and what you can do to avoid them? This course is intended to foster discussion and practical exploration of new innovations in PSG’s and to provide a safe peer-to-peer environment for surgeons wanting to grow their skills and comfort with their use. This is the summit where you can feel comfortable because you’re with your peers who can be transparent in what they’ve been doing, what seems to work as well as their hard lessons learned. Together we’ll explore the clinical application of CAD-based surgical planning and 3D-printed PSG’s. Didactic sessions will focus on clinical identification, imaging assessment, and surgical treatment of pelvic limb malalignment. Lab sessions will include both dry bone and cadaveric specimens for use of osteotomy & reduction PSG’s and plate fixation using anatomic bone plates.

This “no attitude” summit is all about learning together and exploring the new frontier of PSG’s.

Since our launch in 2019, CSUVetCE at the CSU Translational Medicine Institute has proudly worked closely with ACVS as a member of the ACVS Educational Partners Program and looks forward to the participating in the future ACVS Educational Affiliate program to be launched in 2026. The ACVS is officially discontinuing the Educational Partners program on December 31, 2024. In 2025, the ACVS is transitioning in preparation for their 2026 launch of the ACVS Educational Affiliate program. In 2025, Diplomates are encouraged by the ACVS to self-record their RACE-approved credits for the purposes of ACVS Diplomate Maintenance of Certification.

Access to this course will expire one year (365 days) from the course’s end date. After this period, users will no longer have access to course materials, resources, and any associated content. It is the responsibility of the users to complete the course and download any materials including their course completion certificate.
