Shoulder and Elbow Surgery

Introduction to Shoulder and Elbow Surgery
  • Overview of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery: These surgeries address a variety of conditions affecting the shoulder and elbow joints, ranging from injuries to degenerative diseases. The goal is to restore function, reduce pain, and improve the quality of life for patients.
  • Common Indications for Surgery: Rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, shoulder and elbow fractures, arthritis, and tendonitis.
  • Importance of Specialized Care: The complex anatomy and function of the shoulder and elbow require expert surgical intervention to ensure optimal outcomes.
Conditions Treated with Shoulder and Elbow Surgery
  • Shoulder Conditions:
    • Rotator Cuff Tears: Partial or complete tears of the shoulder’s rotator cuff tendons.
    • Shoulder Impingement: Compression of the shoulder tendons, causing pain and limited motion.
    • Labral Tears: Tears in the cartilage around the shoulder socket.
    • Shoulder Dislocation: Instability or repeated dislocation of the shoulder joint.
    • Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the shoulder joint causing pain and stiffness.
  • Elbow Conditions:
    • Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow.
    • Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Inflammation of the tendons on the inside of the elbow.
    • Elbow Fractures: Breaks in the bones forming the elbow joint.
    • Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow.
    • Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the elbow joint causing pain and limited movement.
Advanced Diagnostic Services
  • Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation: Thorough patient history and physical examination to assess symptoms and functional limitations.
  • High-Resolution Imaging: Use of X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound for accurate diagnosis of shoulder and elbow conditions.
  • Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure to visualize and treat joint conditions.
