2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Case Panel: My Worst Complications-Panel

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video transcript, a panel discusses various topics related to shoulder surgeries. The panelists discuss the importance of post-operative rehabilitation for patients undergoing arthroscopic-assisted surgeries and recommend avoiding any movement above 90 degrees for several weeks. They also address the decision-making process for distal clavicle excision, emphasizing the benefits of keeping the distal clavicle intact to provide additional stability. The panel also discusses the complications involved in fixing coracoid fractures during AC joint repair surgeries. They highlight the risk of overreduction of the coracoid clavicular distance and the role of allograft in reinforcing the AC joint reconstruction. The panelists also touch upon the criteria for determining whether AC joint separations require surgery, with some emphasizing the importance of addressing residual instability. The video concludes with a discussion on the choice between arthroscopic and open subscapularis repair, with most panelists favoring the arthroscopic approach.
