In this session, you’ll learn all the new advances related to shoulder and elbow joint replacements. Explore the indications for a total shoulder versus a reverse total shoulder. New advances in pain management for same-day surgery will be presented, including nerve blocks and intraoperative pain cocktails. You’ll also gain insight into the new advances in 3D modeling for pre-operative planning along with a rehab focus for return of functional mobility.

1. Differentiate the indications and procedures of TSA and Rev TSA 
2. Investigate surgical approaches, procedures and post-op restrictions through video presentation of joint replacement procedures 
3. Evaluate criteria for same day surgery and use of nerve blocks used for UE surgery 
4. Apply methods used for improved post-operative pain management
