A/Prof Sumit Raniga extended his thanks to Prof Richard Page for the opportunity to contribute to the Australian Orthopaedic Association (AOA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2025 in Hobart, Tasmania, as well as the SET Registrars Shoulder and Elbow Master Class organized by the Shoulder and Elbow Society of Australia (SESA).

During the SESA Registrar Master Class, A/Prof Raniga shared knowledge and insights on the natural history of rotator cuff tears, the management of massive rotator cuff tears, case-based teaching, and clinical examination of the shoulder.

At the AOA Annual Scientific Meeting, A/Prof Raniga alongside A/Prof Richard Appleyard, presented two basic science studies from the Macquarie Translational Orthopaedic Research Lab: The Biomechanical Validation of the Collin Classification of Massive Rotator Cuff Tears and the Biomechanics of Anterior Cable Reconstruction and Biologic Tuberoplasty.

He also had the honour of moderating a session on instability and rotator cuff tears with Dr Sindy Vrancic, featuring presentations by Dr Khalid Mohammed, Dr Marc Hirner, Dr Greg Hoy, and Dr Kenneth Cutbush.

A/Prof Raniga valued the opportunity to connect with friends, colleagues, and members of the AOA from across Australia.
