HEIDELBERG SHOULDER CONVENTION 2006 -
Strategies in shoulder arthroplasty

November 10-11, 2006

HANDS-ON CADAVER WORKSHOP     FULLY BOOKED

Saturday, November 11, 2006 (max. of 50 participants)

14.00 – 17.00

Institute of Anatomy, University of Heidelberg

During this cadaver workshop the participants are trained to perform surgical approaches to the shoulder as well as soft tissue releases and management. In a second stage they will learn how to implant a hemi prosthesis, a total prosthesis with special emphasis on glenoid exposure and later a fracture prosthesis and an inverse arthroplasty. There will be one instructor at each shoulder. Furthermore the participating companies will supply saw bone models for practicing the bony resection.

1. Soft tissue
1.1 Delto-pectoral approach
1.2MacKenzie approach
1.3 Preparation of brachial plexus and axillary nerve (”nerve to nerve release“)
1.4 Subscapularis lengthening and mobilization
1.5 Capsulotomy anterior, inferior and posterior
 
2. Bone
2.1 Humeral head resection (free hand, landmarks, resection guides)
2.2 Reaming the canal
2.3 Implantation of shaft
2.4 Glenoid exposition and reaming
2.5 Implantation of glenoid components (cemented & cementless)
 
3. Fracture arthroplasty
3.1 Mobilization of tuberosities in fractures
3.2 Determining humeral length and head height in fracture arthroplasty
3.3 Refixation of tuberosities (cerclage, vertical sutures, tuberosity to stem)
 
4. Inverse prosthesis
4.1 Emphasis on different humeral head resection
4.2 Creating the right retroversion
4.3 Glenoid exposure and fixation of glenoid components
4.4 Determining the right tension

With this schedule we try to emphasize the crucial steps of different types of arthroplasty. We hope all participants will enjoy this instructional and educational workshop to its full.

We want to express our thanks and appreciation to Professor Alfred Völkl and his team from the Institute for anatomy and cell biology at the University of Heidelberg for his collaboration.
