Last week, the Grosvenor Orthopaedic Partners shoulder and elbow team had the privilege of attending BESS 2025 — and what an inspiring conference it was! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the organisers had crafted a programme that perfectly balanced cutting‑edge research, practical surgical techniques, and lively discussion.
Key Takeaways
- Innovative Science: We were particularly impressed by sessions on novel graft materials and biologic augmentation for rotator cuff repair. The data presented offers exciting avenues for improving patient outcomes.
- Surgical Masterclasses: Demonstrations on complex shoulder stabilisation and elbow arthroplasty techniques provided invaluable tips that we’re already integrating into our practice.
- Interactive Debates: Expert panels challenged conventional wisdom and sparked thoughtful debate—reinforcing how collaboration drives progress in orthopaedics.
Why It Mattered
Conferences like BESS unite surgeons, researchers, and allied health professionals from around the world. For our team, this wasn’t just an opportunity to learn new approaches; it was a chance to build lasting relationships, exchange case experiences, and collectively push the boundaries of shoulder and elbow care.
Thank You
A heartfelt thank you to the BESS 2025 organisers for delivering such a well‑curated agenda, and to all fellow attendees for your engaging questions and insights. We return to London energized and ready to translate these strong messages into even better patient care.
