Pdf Summary
The AANA/AMECRA/SLARD Knee and Shoulder Course held at the Arthrex ArthoLab Facility in Naples, FL focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes with the theme “Be the Best You Can Be.” <strong>Knee Focus:</strong> The knee portion covers arthroscopy techniques, including portal usage and ASSET feedback tools, taught by Dr. Mark R. Hutchinson, with additional tips from various faculty. Topics include meniscus repairs (Dr. Kevin F. Bonner), anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) techniques such as notchplasty, tunnel placement, graft passage, graft choices, and fixation methods, with instruction from Drs. Cesareo T. Vasavilbaso and Michell Ruiz-Suarez. The differences and surgical pearls for lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) versus anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction are provided by Dr. Jesus Ignacio Cardona-Medina. Three specialized tracks allow focused learning: patellar instability management, cartilage restoration with microfractures and Osteochondral Autograft Transfer System (OATS), and alignment optimization through high tibial osteotomy (HTO). <strong>Shoulder Focus:</strong> The shoulder segment emphasizes arthroscopy, portals, and ASSET tool use with Dr. Fernando Hernandez-Perez leading and insights from Dr. Mark R. Hutchinson. Instruction includes instability labral repairs (Bankart and SLAP lesions) by Dr. John D. Kelly, capsulorrhaphy/remplissage techniques with Dr. Alan S. Curtis, distal clavicle decompression (Dr. Michell Ruiz-Suarez), and proximal biceps procedures like tenotomy and tenodesis by Dr. Hernandez-Perez. Three tracks specialize in rotator cuff repair, bone deficiency treatment (including Latarjet procedures and posterior approaches), and arthroplasty (reverse shoulder, capsular release, subscapularis repair), involving faculty like Drs. Curtis, Kelly, and Melchor Ivan Encalada. The course draws on expert faculty from various institutions sharing practical surgical pearls to enhance outcomes in knee and shoulder orthopedic surgery.
