COA Symposium: Shoulder and Elbow - Difficult Upper Extremity Management Surgical Techniques, Ask the Experts
Description
The transcript is from a symposium focused on advanced surgical techniques for shoulder and elbow management. Patrick Henry, a shoulder and elbow surgeon at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto, introduces a series of presentations featuring various experts discussing complex surgical cases, including coronoid process fractures and proximal humerus fractures, as well as the management of massive rotator cuff tears and distal biceps tendon surgery.
Each speaker shares insights from their experiences, supported by case studies that illustrate different surgical approaches and outcomes. Dr. Graham King discusses exposure and fixation techniques for coronoid fractures, while Dr. Dominique Rouleau shares tips on the surgical management of proximal humerus fractures. Dr. Aaron Bois focuses on chronic pectoralis major tears, emphasizing the importance of timely surgical intervention. Dr. Peter MacDonald addresses the nuances of managing massive rotator cuff tears, exploring techniques like acromioplasty, tenodesis, and the evolving role of biologic grafts. Finally, Dr. Parham Daneshvar presents on reconstructions for retracted distal biceps tendon ruptures and the complexities involved in such surgeries.
Overall, the symposium highlights the importance of careful assessment, innovative surgical techniques, and the need for individualized treatment plans in upper extremity surgeries.
