This course offers a comprehensive and practice-oriented introduction to inverse shoulder prosthesis, designed to support orthopedic residents in preparing for the board examination. In collaboration with our industry partner, Arthrex participants will train on bone models using original instruments and systems, strengthening their understanding of implant design, biomechanics, and surgical indications while practicing key procedural steps for accurate component placement, soft tissue management, and intraoperative decision-making in a realistic training environment.

To support the preparation, participants receive access to the Augmedi E-Learning platform upon registration. Featuring photorealistic 3D anatomy models and an AI-powered learning engine, the platform enables them to strengthen their anatomical understanding and monitor their individual progress ahead of the hands-on training sessions.
