• 3D Scanning vs. Plaster Casting
• Pros and cons of each method
• Casting and scanning for orthotics and above‑ankle devices
• Choosing the right scanning hardware
• Commonly used hardware + strengths/limitations
• What the research tells us about accuracy (including Dean’s published work)

The insurance-dependent model isn’t the only path anymore. Drs. Tea Nguyen, Chris Kestner, and Don Pelto each run thriving practices built on very different models — fully direct-pay, hybrid, and mobile podiatry through senior living facilities — and share what’s working, what isn’t, and which approach might fit your goals.

Join Enovis Foot & Ankle, LERexpo, and Drs. Creech, Umbel, and Flynn for Fix. Fuse. Regenerate: Innovation in the OR. In this one-hour webinar, the faculty will explore the applications of external fixation, active sustained compression, and biologics, sharing practical tips and tricks, real-world case examples, and leading an interactive discussion where attendees are encouraged to ask questions throughout the session.

This program celebrates curiosity, rigor, and collaboration—highlighting the voices shaping the future of foot and ankle care. It’s about visibility, momentum, and impact. Because great research deserves more than a moment—it deserves a platform.

Featuring Panelists:

Zweli Tunyiswa, BA CEO
Pamela Scarborough, PT, DPT, MS, CWS

Dr. Jeff Dikis and Dr. Brad Abicht team up as co-hosts to drive discussion, education, and critical analysis of pertinent peer-reviewed publications that ultimately influence lower extremity patient care. Authors of published manuscripts will join the hosts on the industry-leading lerEXPO virtual platform to explore behind-the-scenes intel related to their publications and take a deep dive into their research. This unique & interactive academic session encourages attendees to join in on the conversation and will recur monthly.

Join us June 6, 2026 for a virtual CME event on the role of carbon composite AFOs across the continuum of care. Session 1 covers post-operative management — AFO selection and timing, complication prevention, wound healing, and early mobilization. Session 2 shifts to rehab and return to activity, including functional rehab strategies, progressive weight-bearing in PTTD and Achilles tendinitis, and the kinematic and kinetic benefits of carbon composite bracing. Each session closes with an expert roundtable.

Free to attend and available on demand.

Achilles 360: From Rupture to Return to Performance is a free, one-day virtual CME event on May 1, 2026, offering a comprehensive look at Achilles tendon care from initial injury through return to sport. Attendees will explore acute management strategies, including operative vs. non-operative decision-making, repair techniques, and biologics, then move into chronic pathology, reconstruction, and functional recovery protocols. Interactive roundtables, live polling, and a sponsor-led Lunch & Learn round out an engaging day designed to deliver practical, evidence-based insights for clinicians treating Achilles injuries.

VLS2026 is a two-day virtual CME summit on July 17–18, 2026, dedicated to the evaluation and treatment of chronic venous and lymphatic disease. Led by an international faculty of leading vascular specialists, the program spans ten sessions covering the full spectrum of venous care — from clinical evaluation, duplex imaging, and guideline-based treatment of varicose veins to iliofemoral stenting, lymphedema and lipedema management, venous ulcers, and pelvic venous disorders. Attendees will benefit from expert lectures, “Great Debate” segments, panel discussions, and industry presentations, making it a comprehensive educational experience for physicians, nurses, podiatrists, and other healthcare professionals managing venous and lymphatic conditions.
