Program

Cadaver course on reverse total shoulder arthroplasty

Organized by

Organized by the Orthopedic Department of the Semmelweis University

Supported by

SECEC

Cadaver Lab

4 Stations (4 Arthrex)
Hands on, 3 Trainees per station,
1 Faculty per station

Didactic Goals

To gain advanced skills on reverse total shoulder arthroplasty

Objectives

  • learn novel trends in reverse prosthesis design and biomechanics
  • get to know the radiological evaluation of patients before and after surgery
  • get familiar with the precise indications
  • develop surgical skills
  • learn tips and trick for exposure and implant position

Operating Room Setup for Shoulder Arthroplasty Procedures
Rehabilitation workshop, MRI workshop, saw bone workshop


Attendees: 24
The attendees will be divided in two groups alternating between didactic session halls and cadaver lab hands-on practical activities.
