2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Decision Making in the Young Arthritic Patient

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a presentation about decision-making in young patients with arthritis. The presenter discusses the importance of considering the etiology, symptoms, and expectations of the patient, as well as future options and salvage procedures. Different treatment options for various types of arthritis are discussed, including microfracture for focal defects, osteoarticular allograft and partial prosthetic replacement for bone involvement, and total shoulder arthroplasty for diffuse disease. The presenter also introduces a procedure called the CAM procedure, which aims to address large inferior osteophytes and alleviate pain in the axillary nerve distribution area. The outcomes and potential failures of different treatment options are discussed, along with potential future options for joint preservation in young patients. The video concludes with a case example of a fighter who was able to restore mobility and return to competitive mixed martial arts fighting after undergoing the CAM procedure. The presenter thanks the AOSSM (American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine) and Anna for the opportunity to share their experience.
