The Wayne State University Department of Orthopedic Surgery will present the first Jeffrey Mast, MD, Orthopedic Trauma Visiting Lecture Conference on November 3 at the annual Detroit Trauma Symposium at the MGM Grand Detroit.
Keith Mayo, MD, one of the founding fathers of pelvic and acetabular surgery in the United States, is affiliated with Swedish Medical Center-First Hill in Seattle, Washington. He attended medical school and interned at the University of Washington, where he met and trained under Sigvard Hansen. In 1983, he received a scholarship from Dr. Reinhold Gantz in Switzerland and Dr. Emile Letournel in France. He participated in the first periacetabular osteotomy, or Berne osteotomy as it became known, and the first acetabular surgery course in 1984, led by Dr. Letournel.
Dr. Mayo returned to Harborview Hospital and Washington State University in 1984, where he practiced trauma and became one of the first American surgeons to perform acetabular and pelvic surgery. He was one of four surgeons who made up the “Bande of Letournel” that traveled the world teaching acetabular surgery techniques. From 1995 to 2001, he joined Robert Teitge, MD, and Jeff Mast, MD, at Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University, where they established one of the leading orthopedic practices and fellowships in the United States.
His more than 30-year career has encompassed all aspects of hip and pelvic care, including complex trauma, joint replacement, and a progressive focus on hip preservation. He has performed more than 900 periacetabular osteotomies for hip dysplasia. He has been involved in surgeon education and clinical research throughout his career. He has lectured and taught extensively in North America and around the world. He has served as an AO Foundation Chair, teaching surgeons, fellows, and residents in pelvic/acetabular surgery, fracture surgery, hip preservation, and deformity correction.
dr. Mayo will present two lectures, “Advances in Hip-Conserving Surgery,” at 7:00 a.m. for orthopedic surgery residents, fellows, faculty and staff, and “Management of Pelvic Fractures” at 8:30 a.m. for all trauma symposium attendees. Faculty, residents, fellows and staff are welcome to attend both lectures. The event is held in person only. When you arrive at the MGM Grand Detroit, please indicate that you are part of the DMC Orthopedic Program in partnership with Drs. Wait to visit it for free.
The lecture conference is named after Dr. Masta, co-author of the book Planning and Reduction Techniques in Fracture Surgery, whose research is essential to the training of the modern orthopedic trauma surgeon. A 1967 graduate of Wayne State University School of Medicine, he died in 2019.
