Apply Now for the 2025 SECEC Exchange Fellowship Program
“My traveling fellowship was the most formative month of my training so far. I gained valuable insights into various techniques, practices, and the nuances of different healthcare systems and patient management approaches. Some consistent themes focused on shoulder and elbow care, including the latest in bone loss management for shoulder instability, advancements in reverse TSA, and the best options for rotator cuff repair. I’ve integrated many of these learnings into my current practice, and not a day goes by where my time in Europe doesn’t shape the care I provide.” Jonathan Barlow, MD – 2023 SECEC Traveling Fellow |

ASES Advocacy Corner
Technological innovation in Orthopaedics has placed shoulder and elbow surgery at the forefront of modern medical advances. Modern techniques and implants now allow us to provide patients with similarly successful results to traditional approaches but with less invasive, less morbid, and faster recovery alternatives. Unfortunately, insurance coverage prevents access to some of these options for many patients. The Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) antiquated approach to implant coverage places our healthcare system at risk for exacerbating health disparities. As a result, many patients with Medicare are unaware that they may have limited access to increasingly common treatment alternatives as their neighbors with commercial plans. We should continue to advocate on behalf of our patients to improve implant coverage parity. Educating our legislators and policy makers on how implant coverage impacts their constituents is equally as important as our surgical prowess and the care we provide.

Spotlight on San Antonio
Volume 8: Spotlight on ASES Annual Meeting Venues
Coates Chapel at the University of Texas San Antonio
The San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter
The Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum
With just a couple of weeks left before the ASES 2024 Annual Meeting, let’s take a look at the venues that will be hosting us in San Antonio!
The San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter: At a tip height of 546 feet, the 38-floor hotel is the tallest building in San Antonio and and second tallest structure in the city (the Tower Of Americas is taller). It is also the tallest hotel in Texas outside of Dallas.
The hotel, which was completed in 1988, is located across the Riverwalk from the Henry B. Gonzales
Convention Center, and overlooks the Rivercenter lagoon, an expansion branch of the Sam Antonio Rover Walk. The hotel is connected to the Rivercenter Mall at two levels and has direct access to the Riverwalk. The building was designed by RTKL Associates and is intended to emulate the twin bell towers of Mission Concepcion or the Cathedral of San Fernando
Coates Chapel at the University of Texas San Antonio — Neer Circle Members attending Thursday’s reception and dinner will gather at this venue, a unique and serene space designed for reflection and spiritual activities. Named after the late Dr. Robert A. Coates, a former faculty member and prominent figure in the university community, the chapel serves as a multi-faith facility, welcoming individuals from diverse religious backgrounds.
The chapel was dedicated in 2001 and reflects UTSA’s commitment to inclusivity and community engagement. Its architecture combines modern design with elements that promote tranquility, making it a popular venue for weddings, memorial services, and other significant events. The surrounding landscape is carefully curated to enhance the peaceful atmosphere, further establishing Coates Chapel as a cherished landmark on campus.
Throughout its history, the chapel has become a focal point for students and faculty alike, fostering a sense of belonging and providing a space for spiritual growth and connection.
The Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum, the site of Friday evening’s Buckhorn Bash, is a historic venue that blends the charm of an old saloon with rich Texas history. Founded in 1881 by Albert Friedrich, the Buckhorn Saloon originally operated as a bar and restaurant, gaining notoriety for its unique decor and lively atmosphere.
Over the years, the saloon has become famous for its extensive collection of taxidermy animals and Western memorabilia, showcasing the spirit of the Old West. In the 2000s, it expanded to include the Texas Ranger Museum, which celebrates the storied history of the Texas Rangers, the state’s legendary law enforcement agency.
Today, visitors can explore exhibits detailing the Rangers’ contributions to Texas history, as well as enjoy the saloon’s vibrant ambiance. The Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum remains a beloved landmark, drawing locals and tourists alike with its blend of entertainment and historical significance.
We look forward to seeing you all in San Antonio!!!
