Title: Emerging Treatment Options for Massive Rotator Cuff Tears for the Sports Medicine Surgeons
Course Description:
Massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears continue to be a challenging problem to treat. In the last few years, novel techniques have emerged which have expanded the non-arthroplasty treatment armamentarium for the sports medicine surgeon. The purpose of this course is to review the latest emerging procedures for the non-arthroplasty treatment options for massive rotator cuff tears for practicing sports medicine surgeons. The topics covered will include superior capsule reconstruction including using the long head of the biceps tendon, biologic tuberoplasty, Bursal Acromial Reconstruction, balloon arthroplasty, and tendon transfers. Detailed step-by-step descriptions by the faculty will allow the surgeon to learn these procedures and implement them in their practice.
