Statement of Need/Description/or Summary of Gap Analysis
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty is commonly used for treatment of proximal humerus fractures in elderly. Many trauma surgeons may not have the training or be comfortable in performing reverse shoulder arthroplasty. However, they may find themselves in a situation where they are expected to perform these procedures for treatment of a proximal humeral fracture. Lack of expertise can increase the risk of complications with this procedure. This session will provide guidance on how to perform the procedure to obtain the best outcomes and limit complications:
1) proper patient selection
2) how to obtain exposure of the glenoid
3) how to handle the tuberosities, should they be fixed at the end of the case?
4) what are the best components: cement vs uncemented stem, what about the glenoid?
5) how to lower the risk of infection and dislocationMany surgeons may find themselves treating these injuries but may not be comfortable with the technical aspects of the surgery. This session will provide technical tips and tricks and evidence to obtain better outcomes. This activity will help close the gaps in physician knowledge of complications in reverse shoulder arthroplasty for proximal humerus fractures.

Statement of Need/Description/or Summary of Gap Analysis
The management of orthopaedic injuries in the setting of polytrauma is a complex, evolving topic. Surgeons at times struggle with identifying the optimal treatment option for different patients based on their injury and resuscitation status. Certain patients/fractures benefit from more aggressive care whereas other times a more delayed treatment plan may be necessary. This webinar will address knowledge gaps that exist in choosing the right treatment plan in complex polytrauma patients.
In treating polytraumatized patients, orthopaedic surgeons need to assess the injury in the context of the patient's resuscitation status. Educating surgeons on contemporary techniques such as damage control plating, interpretation of lab results, and potentially identifying responders vs nonresponders will help improve care of the patient.

This webinar will be presented by three panelists. Each panelist will address one of three topics (Clinical indications for nonoperative management, Clinical outcomes of nonoperative management, and Patient/Family experience with nonoperative management). Each panelist will summarize current published literature on their topic and present a clinical case example.

Learning Objectives:
After completing this activity, learners will be able to:
1. Orthopedic surgeons will be able to confidently reference published medical literature on nonoperative management in their shared decision making discussion regarding treatment options.
2. Internal Medicine/Family Practice/Emergency Medicine colleagues will understand the role of select nonoperative management of geriatric hip fractures.
3. All participants will have a current understanding of what nonoperative management looks like for their patients with respect to quality of lifeFaculty:

Estimated time to complete activity: 1 hour
Statement of Need/Description/or Summary of Gap Analysis
Physicians lack objective criteria when determining if they feel that nonoperative management for geriatric hip fracture is best for the clinical situation. Most are comfortable with a shared decision-making model when selecting treatments but are not aware of the published literature in this clinical area, and this meeting will seek to improve their ability to reference relative published literature on nonoperative management of select geriatric hip fractures.
We have developed several educational presentations for this meeting that are based on recent literature and are intended to close a gap in physicians’ understanding and management of actual clinical outcomes of nonoperative management of geriatric hip fractures. Recent studies, for example (Nijdam et al, J Clinical Medicine 2024), suggest a need for education on realistic patient clinical outcomes and patient/family experience, which will be covered in the program.
