Train as a Team
APEx courses were designed with the whole surgical team in mind. Physician attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their PA, NP, RN, or other support staff. There is no better way to prepare for real-world OR situations than to train together.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this course the participant will be able to:
1. Identify and master arthroscopic skills from basic knot tying to the more complex arthroscopic surgical techniques for labral repair/instability surgery, basic and complex rotator cuff repair, and biceps management.
2. Examine state of the art and emerging techniques for both arthroscopic and mini-open management of complex shoulder pathology, i.e. Latarjet, superior capsular reconstruction.
3. Understand the most important factors involved in thoughtful preoperative planning, intraoperative decision-making, and trouble-shooting using up-to-date expert opinion, experience and evidence.
4. Employ a case-based approach to diagnosis, indications for surgery, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation protocols for many of the most controversial issues in shoulder surgery.
