IC 203: Shoulder Problems in Overhead Sports: Surgeon Beware- It Isn't Always So Straight Forward: An Interactive, Round Table, Case-Based, Problem-Solving Session

Course Description:

A case-based session dealing with 3 shoulder problems we all encounter with overhead sporting activities. These common pathologies however can have subtle differences making the diagnosis more difficult and treatment approach not so straightforward. The faculty will be at the front table and group interaction will take place throughout the presentation of each of the three cases.

Learning Objectives:

• The participant will learn the scope of diagnosing and treating a capsular lesion from non-operative treatments to surgical options and techniques in the overhead athlete.
• The participant will learn the scope of both non-operative and surgical treatments, including timeline decision considerations, to approaching a GLAD (glenoid labral articular disruption) lesion in a football player.
• The participant will learn the scope of treatment options for recalcitrant biceps tenosynovitis in a baseball player with personal experiences which support the different treatment options and techniques.
