A unique opportunity is provided whereby the Fellow learns the art and science of arthroscopic management of shoulder disorders previously treated through open approaches. As a result of various successful new theories and innovations designed by the fellowship director, a variety of shoulder pathology is addressed completely through the arthroscope including rotator cuff tears (including subscapularis), bicep tendinopathy, SLAP lesions, instability, and adhesive capsulitis. In addition, a valuable open shoulder experience is gained through the treatment of arthritis and bone defects in instability. The program’s flexibility provides a balance of different research opportunities and academic pursuits in a clinical practice setting. Further, the Fellow is welcomed and encouraged to work with the Biomechanical Engineering Department at the college, develop his/her own research projects and to participate in the presentation and preparation of scientific publications. There is ample opportunity for interaction with numerous visiting international orthopaedic surgeons.
