The Shoulder

Part 1 Rotator cuff: open anterior acromioplasty of full thickness rotator cuff tears; repair of massive rotator cuff tears - methods of mobilization and tissue coverage; resection of the distal clavicle. Part 2 Instability: Bankart repair of anterior shoulder dislocation and subluxation; capsulo-labral reconstruction for instability in the throwing athlete; anterior inferior capsular shift for involuntary multi-directional shoulder instability; capsular repair for recurrent posterior instability; McLaughlin procedure for acute and chronic posterior dislocations. Part 3 Trauma: open reduction and internal fixation of fractures and nonunions of the clavicle shaft; surgical repair of grade III acute acromioclavicular separations; surgical repair of chronic acromioclavicular separations; open reduction and internal fixation of three part proximal humerus fractures; proximal humeral arthroplasty for four part fractures and fracture dislocations; open reduction and internal fixation for displaced surgical neck fractures and nonunions; open reduction and internal fixation for greater tuberosity fractures, malunions and nonunions. Part 4 Reconstruction: total shoulder replacement for glenohumeral arthritis; total shoulder replacement - managing bone deficiencies; operative repair of suprascapular nerve entrapment; arthrodesis. Part 5 Arthroscopy: arthroscopic distal clavicle excision; arthroscopic anterior acromioplasty; arthroscopic repair of anterior dislocations; diagnostic arthroscopy and arthroscopic management of rotator cuff tears.
