9400 West Higgins Road, Suite 305 Rosemont, IL 60018-4975 Phone: (847) 698-1631 FAX: (847) 430-5140 E-mail: [email protected] It is my pleasure to provide the OTA Annual Meeting welcome for the sec- ond consecutive year. This anomaly is related to an organizational shift in the timing for transition of OTA held offices and positions from the Spring AAOS to the Fall OTA meeting. When the OTA was established, some 30 years ago, there was no OTA Annual Meeting. There was no OTA specific venue or opportunity for gathering, sharing, learning, educating, partner- ing, or doing OTA business. Since 1985, our Annual Meeting has grown from nonexistent to the premier orthopaedic trauma related meeting in the world. The timing shift for transition affected all committees. The Program William M. Ricci, MD Committee was no exception. Last year Mike McKee did double duty as the Program Committee Chair and Second President- Elect positions and Mike Gardner entered as Co-Chair of the Program Committee. Rather than following the normal two-year cycle in their Pro- gram Committee leadership duties, Mike McKee rotated off after one year to assume Presidential Line responsibilities, and Mike Gardner assumed the helm of the Program Committee a year early. Stephen Kottmeier joined the Program Committee as co-Chair. Despite the disturbance in normal cadence, the 2018 OTA Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL, as you will see, represents an evolution toward a more robust, more comprehensive, and more modern Annual Meeting sure to be our best yet. A testament to the commitment and dedication of all our member volunteers and the hard work of our OTA staff. Thanks to all!! Another exciting launch at this year’s Annual Meeting is OTA Online Trauma Access. OTA Online is a one stop online portal for educational material related to orthopaedic trauma. It will house the largest, most comprehensive, peer reviewed library of technique videos available. OTA Online will also include access to three Rockwood & Green titles: Rockwood & Green Textbook of Fractures in Adults/Children including a new living textbook edition Rockwood & Green Live that will provide consistent up-to-date material and the in demand Rockwood & Green On-Call a quick reference, bullet point resource based on the Rockwood & Green text. OTA Online will also provide access to the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, OTA International (OTA’s new open access journal), and forthcoming OTA Orthopaedic Trauma Textbook Series (targeted monographs to the most relevant clinical issues). This launch is the culmination of several years’ effort and a partnership with our publisher oltersW Kluwer. Finally, OTA Online will include Industry Channels where our corporate partners will showcase educational and reference content specific to their products. Again, hearty thanks to all involved for their tireless efforts to makeOTA Online a reality. I hope you will agree with our OTA Board of Directors that there is no better place or time than the OTA Annual Meeting to gather, share, learn, educate, partner, do OTA business, and now transition our offices and positions. Enjoy the meeting and please visitOTA Online often and encourage colleagues and trainees to visit often as well.
