SAN DIEGO SHOULDER INSTITUTE PRESENTS:
Arthroscopy
Arthroplasty
Fractures
June 11-13, […]
These lectures, over a decade apart, demonstrate the field’s progression from soft tissue-based treatments to a more comprehensive anatomical model—paving the way for refined surgical planning and improved patient care.
From the art of scapular evaluation with Dr. Bassem Elhassan to the engineering of reverse shoulder arthroplasty stability with Dr. Mark Frankle, these two talks explore what happens when anatomy and implants both demand attention.
What a difference ten years make—better implants, smarter techniques, and a clearer path to pain-free motion. A decade has reshaped the landscape of shoulder arthroplasty, transforming it from an era of experimental enthusiasm into one of refined precision. Ten years ago, the focus was on overcoming the pitfalls of early prosthetic designs—sizing issues, improper implantation angles, and high failure rates. Now, with anatomical reconstruction at the forefront, modern prostheses offer superior stability, convertibility, and longevity.
