  • Shoulder Joint ReplacementShoulder Joint Replacement

    Total shoulder replacement surgery is performed to relieve symptoms of severe shoulder pain and disability due to arthritis. In this surgery, the damaged articulating parts of the shoulder joint are removed and replaced with artificial prostheses. Replacement of both the humeral head and the socket is called a total shoulder replacement.

  • Shoulder ArthroscopyShoulder Arthroscopy

    Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedure performed for joint problems. Shoulder arthroscopy is performed using a pencil-sized instrument called an arthroscope. The arthroscope consists of a light system and camera that projects images of the surgical site onto a computer screen for your doctor to clearly view.

  • Reverse Shoulder ReplacementReverse Shoulder Replacement

    Conventional surgical methods such as total shoulder joint replacement are not very effective in the treatment of rotator cuff arthropathy. Reverse total shoulder replacement is an advanced surgical technique specifically designed for rotator cuff tear arthropathy, a condition where you suffer from both shoulder arthritis and a rotator cuff tear.

  • Shoulder Labrum ReconstructionShoulder Labrum Reconstruction

    Following the surgery, your shoulder is immobilized with a sling for a few days. To control pain and swelling, your physical therapist may use ice, electrical stimulation, massage therapy, and other hands-on treatments. Passive range of motion exercises is also initiated in the postoperative phase.

  • Pectoralis Major Tears/RepairsCapsular Release

    A tear in the pectoralis major muscle occurs when the tendon attaching the muscle to the upper arm bone is damaged as a result of trauma or injury. In the case of a rupture, operative treatment is employed for repairing the torn muscle in active and young patients irrespective of the chronicity of the injury.

  • Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint ReconstructionAcromioclavicular (AC) Joint Reconstruction

    The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is one of the joints present within your shoulder. It is formed between a bony projection at the top of the shoulder blade (acromion) and the outer end of the clavicle (collarbone). The joint is enclosed by a capsule and supported by ligaments.

  • Shoulder StabilizationShoulder Stabilization

    Shoulder stabilization surgery is performed to improve stability and function to the shoulder joint and prevent recurrent dislocations. It can be performed arthroscopically, depending on your particular condition, with much smaller incisions. Arthroscopic stabilization is a surgical procedure to treat chronic instability of the shoulder joint.

  • ORIF of the Scapula FracturesORIF of the Scapula Fractures

    Scapular fractures are uncommon and require a large amount of force to fracture. They are usually the result of intense trauma, such as a high-speed motor vehicle accident or a fall from a height onto one’s back. They can also occur from a fall on an outstretched arm if the humeral head impacts the glenoid cavity.

  • Bony Instability Reconstruction of the ShoulderCapsular Release

    The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the body. Injury and trauma can tear or stretch the labrum and/or ligaments, causing loosening and instability of the shoulder joint which can lead to partial or complete dislocation of the joint. Bony instability, also known as shoulder instability or glenohumeral instability, refers to the inability to retain the head of the humerus in the glenoid socket due to serious trauma sustained by the soft tissues, and glenoid and humeral bones of the shoulder joint.
