Video Summary

The morning session was a comprehensive roundtable discussion focusing on athletic shoulder injuries. The structure involved dividing attendees into two groups for focused discussions, followed by debriefs. Various experts, including Dr. Brian Waterman, Dr. Bert De Boer, Dr. Sarah Edwards, Dr. John Dickens, Dr. Greg Stanovich, Dr. G Yagnik, and Dr. Steve Brockmeyer led the discussions.<br /><br />Initially, the topic revolved around shoulder instability with specific cases presented. Dr. Waterman highlighted a female collegiate soccer goalie with right shoulder instability and elaborated on potential surgery options. Afterward, Dr. Yagnik presented a case involving a high school football player with a bony Bankart lesion and discussed the intricate details of arthroscopic repair techniques.<br /><br />Following these discussions, the focus shifted to biceps and SLAP pathology. Dr. Stanovich discussed the role of biceps tenodesis versus SLAP repair for a volleyball player, emphasizing the high satisfaction rate for tenodesis. Dr. Edwards then detailed the challenges of subscap tears and associated biceps instability, presenting a rare and complex case.<br /><br />The session transitioned to rotator cuff issues, starting with Dr. Waterman's presentation on rotator cuff repair in a jiu-jitsu instructor, underscoring the importance of customized surgical plans. Dr. John Dickens provided insights into managing partial rotator cuff tears in athletes, particularly football players.<br /><br />Moving to AC and SC joint injuries, Dr. Bertha Burr discussed an acute type III AC separation with horizontal instability in a cyclist, highlighting the controversial aspects of surgical intervention. Lastly, Dr. Brockmeyer shared a compelling case of a posterior SC joint dislocation in a football player, addressing both acute and chronic management strategies.<br /><br />In the concluding activities, participants broke into groups to discuss the cases and shared their key points, before wrapping up the session.
