Hundreds of surgeons from around the world took part in the inaugural BreakThrough with Chris Adams, MD webcast on August 18, a novel web program that brought leading surgeons together to present and discuss how the most medically significant technology innovations are changing the way they treat their patients in orthopaedic surgery.

BreakThroughThe first broadcast of BreakThrough included host and Arthrex Medical Education Director Chris Adams, MD, as well as guests Stephen Burkhart, MD, and Alan Hirahara, MD, who shared their experiences and discussed the benefits of the Superior Capsular Reconstruction (SCR) technique for patients with massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears of the shoulder. SCR represents a new arthroscopic reconstruction technique option that has quickly become an exciting new alternative to more invasive procedures like reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
