Case challenges in shoulder surgery: what would you do?
Overview
abstract
The management of complex shoulder issues was discussed in an interactive case presentation session. Patient scenarios discussed included reoperation of a rotator cuff repair with a subscapularis tear; uncemented hemiarthroplasty presenting with pain and osteolysis; severe osteoarthritis with all nonoperative options exhausted; rheumatoid arthritis with pain and diminished function; and significant pain, limited motion, and weakness in an active patient.
