Balgrist International Shoulder Course - Rotator Cuff Disorders

Event Details

In cooperation with the Balgrist University Hospital, we are excited to present a high-caliber online live broadcast from the popular “Balgrist International Shoulder Course" which will took place in Zurich from 29 September to 1 October 2022. Under the scientific guidance of Dr. Karl Wieser, the three-day course focuses on "Rotator Cuff Disorders” and covers the entire spectrum of rotator cuff tears, from etiology to arthroscopic RC repair techniques, from basic science aspects to tendon transfers and from augmented repairs to the latest developments in reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Tune in from wherever you are and enjoy a first-class program featuring an international faculty of world renowned shoulder surgeons, who present their latest research, perform live surgeries, and share their knowledge in interactive case discussions.

Participation Cost:
The livestream was free of charge. The post-live version can be purchased at a ticket price of € 14.99. Watch the replay whenever your time allows.
