Details

Session 1: Rotator Cuff Learning Objectives: Describe current concepts involving basic science and the pathophysiology of rotator cuff disease with a focus on prognostic factors and repair strategies; Demonstrate a sound and rational approach to surgical decision making as it relates to cuff pathology; Describe the clinical evidence to support different repair strategies and possible implications of each ; Explain the limitations of surgical cuff repair and surgical and nonsurgical alternatives to tendon repair. Session 2: Instability Learning Objectives: Apply surgical decision making with reference to decision tools that take known prognostic factors into account: Describe the rationale and limitations of soft tissue repair strategies; Describe the rationale and risk of Latarjet repair and other bony procedures Session 3: Proximal Humeral Fractures Learning Objectives: List the common classification systems used for radiologic assessment of proximal humeral fractures; Describe prognostic factors, including fracture characteristics and fracture patterns that may predict humeral head perfusion and subsequent AVN; Explain the current evidence for operative or non-operative management of PHFs; demonstrate an approach to surgical decision making and to understand expected surgical outcomes; Describe possible surgical
