Many young surgeons may have anxiety regarding doing their first complex cases. Many others fail to have the appropriate amount of anxiety when starting out. The aims of this session are to discuss issues regarding patient selection, planning, institutional constraints, surgeons constraints and potential intraoperative problems the pelvic/acetabular surgeon may encounter. The goal is to provide young surgeons with a framework to set themselves up for the best possible outcomes as well as to educate them on the very real and significant problems they may encounter at any point in their career.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

Summarize patient, surgeon and institutional factors that may adversely affect the outcome of the patient undergoing operative management of the pelvis and/or acetabulum.
Identify factors relevant for planning your first complex case and how preparation may mitigate adverse outcomes.
Review iatrogenic issues (hemorrhage, organ injury, fixation failure) they may face intraoperatively and techniques to address.
