Mayo Clinic Course on Shoulder Tendon Transfers and Complex Rotator Cuff Repair 2017
This course has already taken place. Please see the 2019 course.
Course Directors: Bassem T. Elhassan, M.D. and Joaquin Sanchez-Sotelo, M.D., Ph.D.
This course will provide cutting-edge presentations, cadaver demonstrations, and cadaver-based workshops on the management of complex rotator cuff tears and conditions affecting the scapulothoracic joint. The course will highlight the principles, surgical techniques and outcomes of tendon transfers around the shoulder joint and scapula, advanced arthroscopically-assisted tendon transfers, and alternative salvage procedures such as reconstruction of the superior capsule, reverse shoulder arthroplasty and shoulder/scapulothoracic fusion. A portion of the course will allow attendees to perform tendon transfers on whole torso and upper extremity cadaveric specimens.
Registration Fee: $1,000.00
Lab Workshop: $800.00
Course Highlights
- First time a shoulder tendon transfer course is offered in the United States
- Focus on shoulder tendon transfers
- Relive demonstrations by world renowned surgeons
- One-on-one faculty to attendee interaction during the cadaver lab

Learning Objectives
Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Describe the biomechanics of the rotator cuff and periscapular muscles and well as the relative biomechanical advangtages and disadvantages of various tendon transfers around to shoulder.
- Explain how to reliably predict which cuff tears are irreparable and how to best select various treatment options, including partial repair, augmentation, superior capsular reconstruction, reverse shoulder arthroplasty, and tendon transfers.
- Describe technical pearls, using open and arthroscopic techniques, regarding modern tendon transfers for reconstruction of sholulders with irreparable rotator cuff tears, posterosuperior tears, anterosuperior tears, or combined tears.
- Explain the value of reverse arthroplasty in patients with massive irreparable cuff tears and the need to add tendon transfers in the same surgical setting, or to consider them after reverse if needed.
- Describe the physical examination of the scapula as well as the various tendon transfers for dysfunction of the serratus anterior, trapezius, and others.
Attendance at this Mayo Clinic course does not indicate nor guarantee competence or proficiency in the performance of any procedures which may be discussed or taught in this course.
