By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Identify patients with rotator cuff tears who are appropriate candidates for non-operative management.
2. Compare current augmentation materials and techniques based on tear characteristics and available evidence.
3. Select appropriate tendon transfer procedures for irreparable rotator cuff tears based on patient-specific factors.
4. Determine the indications, timing, and expected outcomes for reverse shoulder arthroplasty in the management of irreparable rotator cuff pathology.
