This Instructional Lecture Course presents a detailed analysis of various case studies involving common and complex shoulder conditions. These case studies form the foundation for discussing periprosthetic fractures, infection management, and the intricate biomechanics of shoulder stability and mobility. The lecture emphasizes the practical application of these concepts in surgical settings, exploring various surgical techniques and their outcomes via real-world scenarios.
At the conclusion of this course learners should be able to:
- Explain the etiology of and treatment strategies for periprosthetic humerus fractures.
- Discuss factors that influence infection management during shoulder surgery, including systemic factors, such as the gut biome, and the effect of various postoperative protocols and antibiotic strategies.
- Assess factors that influence the success of rotator cuff repair, focusing on the effect of surgical techniques, such as grafting and the management of failed initial surgery.
- Explain the biomechanical principles underlying the Latarjet procedure, including the optimal placement of bone grafts and the management of potential complications.
- Evaluate implant options for shoulder arthroplasty, discussing the manner in which different implants affect outcomes and how to address common complications.
- Incorporate current research into practice, particularly new findings on the manner in which biomechanical interactions and materials science influence surgical decision making for shoulder procedures.
- Critique case studies to identify best practices and areas for improvement in shoulder surgery, fostering a culture of peer learning and evidence-based practice improvement.
