🏄‍♂️ We are pleased to welcome Christian Spross to the Nice Shoulder Course 2026.

In “Results and Complications of Treating Proximal Humerus Fractures Using an Algorithmic Approach”, he will present a structured, decision-driven strategy for managing these complex fractures.
He will also challenge the growing trend toward RSA in “Don’t Jump on RSA! Early Repair of Traumatic Massive RCT with Pseudoparesis is Successful Regardless of Patients’ Age”, sharing evidence that early repair can yield excellent outcomes across age groups.

🏄‍♂️ We are pleased to welcome Prof. Alessandro Castagna to the Nice Shoulder Course 2026.

In “Arthroscopic Single-Row Rotator Cuff Repair: Patient-Reported Outcomes After Minimum 12 Years Follow-Up”, he will present long-term clinical outcomes of a classic repair technique.
He will also explore the concept of “Inverted-Bearing Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: Is It Better? Is it Risky?”, offering a critical perspective on innovation and potential risks in RSA design.

🏄‍♂️ We are pleased to welcome Arasch Wafaisade, MD to the Nice Shoulder Course 2026.

In “Minimally invasive Reconstruction of Acute AC-joint injuries using the TwinBridge® button system”, he will present a contemporary approach to acute acromioclavicular joint reconstruction.

In the 🎬 Re-Live Surgery session, he will also share “Arthroscopic Fixation of Glenoid Fracture with Suture Buttons”, offering practical insight into a demanding arthroscopic technique.

🎂 Join us to celebrate this 20-year anniversary at the Nice Shoulder Course, on June 18-20, 2026!

Twenty years ago, Pr. Pascal Boileau introduced the BIO‑RSA technique, a pioneering approach to reverse shoulder arthroplasty. By using a humeral head bone graft to lateralize the glenoid, BIO‑RSA improves shoulder stability, motion, and reduces scapular notching while maintaining solid fixation. Furthermore, the use of an Angled BIO-RSA allows to correct superior inclination, excessive rétroversion, and lateralize the baseplate and sphere.
What began in Nice as an innovative concept has now spread worldwide, helping surgeons treat complex shoulder pathology with greater confidence and reproducibility. Clinical studies have confirmed its safety, durability, and excellent outcomes, with high graft incorporation (>95%) and low revision rates.

🏄‍♂️ Nice Shoulder Course 2026 celebrates this 20‑year anniversary of BIO‑RSA with a dedicated session revisiting two decades of clinical and radiographic experience. This session will feature:

• BIO-RSA vs. RSA: A Comparative Long-Term Follow-up Study (Gregorio Secci, MD & Pascal Boileau, MD)

• BIO-RSA vs. MIO-RSA: A Radiographic Evaluation using Tomosynthesis (Kazumasa Takayama, MD)

• BIO-RSA: An American Experience (Michael Khazzam, MD)

• Advanced Age and Reduced Bone Density do not Compromise BIO-RSA: A 5-year comparative study (Stefan Bauer, MD)

• Can Surgeons Predict How Much Compensation is Needed to Correct Superior Glenoid Inclination in RSA? (Pascal Boileau, MD & Mark Mouchantaf, MD).

🏄‍♂️ We are pleased to welcome Bettina Hochreiter, MD to the Nice Shoulder Course 2026.

In her presentation, “Posterior Shoulder Stability Depends on Acromial Anatomy: A Cadaveric and Biomechanical Study”, she will share important biomechanical insights into the role of acromial morphology in posterior shoulder stability. A focused and thought-provoking contribution to one of the most evolving topics in shoulder instability.

🏄‍♂️ We are pleased to welcome Jonathan Levy to the Nice Shoulder Course 2026.
In “Postoperative Stress Fractures of the Acromion and the Spine of the Scapula: Classification & Risk Factors”, he will address the key factors behind one of the most challenging complications after RSA.
In the Re-Live Surgery session, he will also share his approach to “How I Fix a Scapular Spine Fracture”, offering practical insight from the operating room.
As Special Guest Lecturer, he will also present “The Future of Shoulder Arthroplasty: Will RSA Outperform TSA?”, a forward-looking talk at the heart of contemporary shoulder surgery.

🏄‍♂️ We are pleased to welcome Prof. Hiroyuki Sugaya to the Nice Shoulder Course 2026.

In “How to Manage a Bony Bankart Lesion: Soft Tissue Management or Bone Block?”, he will address one of the key decision points in instability surgery.
He will also present on the biological and functional recovery after cuff repair, including whether fatty degeneration can be reversed and muscle strength improved, why internal rotation weakness may persist after subscapularis repair, and how to avoid type 2 retear after rotator cuff repair.

A rare opportunity to hear a leading authority on instability and cuff surgery.
