First International Shoulder Planet Indo-Brazil Webinar - Rotator Cuff Healing Biology

Description

This video features Dr. Sergio Rowinski from Shoulder Planet hosting the first international Indo-Brazil shoulder webinar, showcasing a collaborative event between Brazilian and Indian orthopedic surgeons. Throughout the presentation, Dr. Rowinski discusses various prominent figures in shoulder surgery, including Dr. Ildeu Almeida of Brazil and Dr. Shirish Pathak and Dr. Sanjay Trivedi from India.



The webinar covers advanced discussions around the biological healing of rotator cuff injuries, detailing the importance of various factors impacting surgical outcomes. The speakers also delve into the techniques used in rotator cuff repairs, the complexities of different patient demographics, and the significance of age and other pre-existing conditions in determining surgical success.



Technical nuances, including surgical tactics for tension management and appropriate rehabilitation protocols, are also explored, offering insights into how to optimize postoperative recovery. The use of biological augmentations, such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and various types of scaffolds, are mentioned, although there's recognition that evidence supporting their efficacy remains inconclusive.



As the discussion progresses, the panelists share their individual experiences and recommendations regarding patient care, emphasizing the balance needed when dealing with complications such as stiffness and CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome).



The session concludes with an interactive Q&A, where the audience is invited to engage with the panel. Dr. Rowinski expresses gratitude for the collaborative nature of the event, highlighting its educational value and anticipation for future Indo-Brazil webinars.
