Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for Postgraduate Orthopaedic Exams

Description

The webinar on reverse shoulder replacement, led by Professor EMOM, kicks off with an introduction emphasizing the importance of the topic for medical examinations. The session is structured with a presentation followed by audience questions, and is set to conclude by 7:30 PM. Key concepts discussed include the biomechanics of shoulder replacement, historical developments, innovations, complications, and evidence-based practices in this growing field. Professor EMOM addresses the dynamics of shoulder mechanics, explaining critical principles such as the concavity compression concept and the centerline alignment related to shoulder stability.



The lecture further delves into the implications of rotator cuff deficiencies, surgical techniques, and advancements in prosthetic designs aimed at enhancing functional outcomes. Common complications associated with both reverse and anatomical shoulder replacements are outlined, including infection rates, instability, and the risk of notching in implants. Professor EMOM stresses the significance of patient selection and individualized approaches in treatment, especially when dealing with challenging cases of shoulder trauma and existing comorbidities.



Throughout the presentation, participants are encouraged to engage with the material, ask questions, and consider practical tips for their upcoming exams, emphasizing a comprehensive understanding of the surgical procedures and their underlying biomechanical concepts. The session concludes with a reminder that the recorded webinar will be available for viewing on the institution's YouTube channel, reinforcing the value of the knowledge shared for both current practice and future learning.
