VOS Jacques Jenny Lecturers

Synthes

Synthes has been the sole sponsor of the Jacques Jenny Lectureship since its inception. The VOS is grateful for the financial and philosophical support provided by Synthes for this foundational component of our annual conference.

2012 - Our Jacques Jenny Lecturer for 2012 will be Dror Paley, MD, FRCSC, Director of the Paley Advanced Limb Lengthening Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida, and previous Director of the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, Sinai Hospital.
Dr. Paley is a pioneer and leading authority of the Center of Rotation of Angulation (CORA) methodology for limb deformity correction in children. He will be sharing experiences and insights with the development of this technique in human angular limb deformity correctional procedures. Dr. Paley is world-renowned for his expertise and travels the globe giving presentations on CORA. We are fortunate to have him as our Jacques Jenny Lecturer, and I am certain you will enjoy his entertaining and informative presentations.
