Description

Course Overview

Mark your calendar to join us on October 22-24, 2026, at FIVE Labs Las Vegas for the 2026 Critical Concepts in Shoulder & Elbow Surgery, the only course where you’ll learn how to do shoulder and elbow procedures by actually doing them.

  • Multiple opportunities for valuable hands-on experience with anatomic specimens in our state-of-the-art bioskills lab

  • More live and recorded surgical technique demonstrations to give you a good grounding in a variety of shoulder and elbow procedures

  • Fewer didactic lectures and more practical surgical pearls – no “death by PowerPoint” at this course! 

  • An Interactive Technology & Biologics Showcase to help you gain a new level of comfort with advanced technologies 

  • Demos and discussion of complex and revision sports and arthroplasty procedures, including revision arthroplasty, revision rotator cuff repair, and revision of a failed instability procedure with bone blocks

CALL FOR POSTERS FROM RESIDENTS & FELLOWS

We are now accepting poster submissions from residents (PGY4 and PGY5) and fellows based in the US or Canada for the 2026 Critical Concepts in Shoulder & Elbow Surgery course. 

Submit a poster abstract on any aspect of treatment of shoulder and elbow disorders by July 31 and you may be selected to display your poster at the course!

The lead resident or fellow on the top 3 posters will receive complimentary registration for Critical Concepts in Shoulder & Elbow Surgery and the opportunity to display their poster during the meeting.

The lead resident or fellow on posters that do not place in the top 3 may be invited to display their research at the course at the discretion of the course chairs but will not receive complimentary registration.
