The Goldfarb Foundation 2025 Lower Extremity Surgical Symposium (LESS) CHAOS: PHL

The Goldfarb Foundation 2025 Lower Extremity Surgical Symposium (LESS) CHAOS: PHL is organized by The Goldfarb Foundation and will be held from Apr 23 - 26, 2025 at Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America.

Symposium Description:

“WE LIVE IN A DATA-DRIVEN WORLD”

Frequently, a review of the literature for evidence-based information reveals the available evidence to be incomplete.  We may therefore be forced to make decisions based on limited experience, comfort zone practices, or industry recommendations.

The LESS CHAOS Clinical Meeting is designed to present the registrant with the latest information on contemporary topics and controversies in Reconstructive, Revisional and Deformity Correction Surgery.  Our experienced Instructors have the ability to blend their experience with evidence-based knowledge and present their topics in an efficient, thorough, and collegial fashion.

This information should encourage the acquisition of data integration skills and precision questioning, allowing us to make smarter decisions in our clinical and surgical practice.
