AAOS Fundamentals of Knee & Shoulder Arthroscopy for Orthopaedic Residents
Course #2403341
An interactive learning experience designed exclusively for residents
Experience two content-packed days, rotating between classroom sessions and hands-on cadaver labs, building your foundation of numerous knee and shoulder arthroscopy procedures.
Working in pairs with another attendee, you'll have your own knee and shoulder cadaver specimens to practice arthroscopy skills.
Stay engaged with a dynamic mix of lectures, live and video surgical demonstrations, knot-tying sessions and faculty-participant discussion. Spend the majority of the course in the hands-on cadaver lab practicing:
- ACL Reconstruction
- Partial Meniscectomy
- Rotator Cuff Repair
- Subacromial Decompression
- Labral Surgery
- Biceps Procedures
- Meniscus Repair
Knot Tying Competition

“The ability to practice on cadavers without the time constraints of the operating room schedule made all the difference in learning, making adjustments, and experimenting with different available options. This will all translate to better patient care!" - Previous Course Attendee
