Description
In this educational session led by John Keating, the discussion revolves around a clinical case featuring a 24-year-old male patient presenting with a posterior shoulder dislocation following seizure activity. The speaker encourages audience participation in assessing the case, discussing potential management options, including closed reduction, CT scans, and patient history related to seizure activity. Lee Van Rensburg contributes insights on the medical workup required for patients with seizures and their associated shoulder injuries, emphasizing the need to address seizure control before surgical interventions to prevent complications. Visual aids, including radiographs and CT scans, illustrate the patient's specific injuries, including a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion. The speakers debate surgical options, including open reduction strategies, and the role of age and patient activity levels in deciding treatment plans. The session concludes with the presentation of additional case studies and a summary discussion on contemporary practices in shoulder surgery, particularly focusing on reverse shoulder arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty. The audience is engaged throughout, and the session ends with a round of applause for the presenters.
