Dr. Bowden discusses the strength and functional outcomes between traumatic and non-traumatic tear groups. Dr. Alea discusses the exclusion criteria for cannabis use in a study and the use of CBD in post-op protocols. Dr. McCarty discusses the type of tenodesis used for SLAP lesions and the cost considerations of biological augmentation during rotator cuff repair.
