Shoulder Arthritis

Shoulder arthritis covers numerous conditions where the joint surfaces (cartilage) wear out.

Rotator Cuff Tear

Rotator Cuff Tear is the medical term for when the tendon no longer fully attaches to the head of the humerus.

Shoulder Instability / Dislocation

Playing more overhead sports and repeated use of the shoulder at the workplace may lead to sliding of the upper arm bone, the ball portion, from the glenoid–the socket portion of the shoulder.

Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder Impingement occurs when there is an impingement of tendons or bursa in the shoulder from bones of the shoulder.

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen Shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), is pain, stiffness and a loss of motion in your shoulder.

SLAP Tears

The term SLAP (superior –labrum anterior-posterior) lesion or SLAP tear refers to an injury of the superior labrum of the shoulder.

Shoulder Fractures

Any of the bony components of the shoulder may fracture as a result of a wide variety of injuries.

Shoulder Replacement

A shoulder joint replacement removes the painful contact between the worn humeral head and shoulder blade socket and replaces them with a new bearing surface that removes the arthritic pain.

Rotator Cuff Repair

If the non-surgical treatments do not resolve the patient’s symptoms, the patient may then require surgery for Rotator Cuff Tear.

Shoulder Reconstruction

During arthroscopic surgery for SLAP tears, your surgeon examines the labrum and the biceps tendon.

Treatment for Frozen Shoulder

Surgery for frozen shoulder involves cutting the tight ligaments and capsule and remove the scar tissue from the affected shoulder.
