Shoulder
Anatomy of the Shoulder
The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the body that enables a wide range of movements including forward flexion, abduction, adduction, external rotation, internal rotation, and 360-degree circumduction.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedure performed for joint problems.
Rotator Cuff Repair
The rotator cuff is a group of 4 muscles in the shoulder joint including the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis.
Shoulder Labrum Reconstruction
The labrum is a ring of fibrous cartilage surrounding the glenoid, which helps in stabilizing the shoulder joint.
Anterior Shoulder Stabilization
Anterior shoulder stabilization is a surgical procedure performed to treat a condition called anterior shoulder instability.
Patch Augmentation for Rotator Cuff Repair
Patch augmentation for rotator cuff repair is a shoulder surgery technique in which processed dermal allograft is used to treat large and massive rotator cuff tears.
Shoulder Reconstruction Surgery
Shoulder reconstruction surgery is an operative procedure in which stretched or torn soft-tissue structures that surround the shoulder joint
SLAP Repair
A SLAP repair is an arthroscopic shoulder procedure to treat a specific type of injury to the labrum called a SLAP tear.
AC Joint Repair
AC joint repair is a surgical procedure performed to repair damaged or torn ligaments and tendons of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint.
Capsular Release
A capsular release of the shoulder is surgery performed to release a tight and stiff shoulder capsule, a condition called frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis.
Shoulder Surgery
Shoulder surgery is a surgical procedure for the treatment of a shoulder injury or shoulder condition.
Pectoralis Major Tendon Transfer
Pectoralis major tendon transfer is a surgical procedure to treat a massive anterosuperior rotator cuff tear or isolated irreparable subscapularis tear in the shoulder.
Pectoralis Major Tears/Repairs
The pectoralis muscle is a large fan-shaped muscle comprised of the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles
Shoulder Fracture Care
A break in the bone that makes up the shoulder joint is called a shoulder fracture.
Viscosupplementation for Shoulder Arthritis
Viscosupplementation is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the injection of a hyaluronic acid preparation into the shoulder to treat arthritis.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for the Shoulder
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment option that involves injecting a concentrated solution
Arthritis of the Shoulder
The term arthritis literally means inflammation of a joint but is generally used to describe any condition in which there is damage to the cartilage.
Rotator Cuff Tear
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons in the shoulder joint that provides support and enables a wide range of motion.
Throwing Injuries of the Shoulder
Throwing injuries of the shoulder are injuries sustained as a result of trauma by athletes during sports activities
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 Labral Tear
Traumatic injury to the shoulder or overuse of the shoulder (throwing, weightlifting) may cause the labrum to tear.
Shoulder Fracture
A break in a bone that makes up the shoulder joint is called a shoulder fracture.
Distal Triceps Tear
A distal triceps tear is a rare condition that occurs when the tendon attaching the triceps muscle in the back of the arm
Biceps Tendon Rupture
The biceps muscle is located in the front side of your upper arm and functions to help you bend and rotate your arm.
Shoulder Instability
Shoulder instability is a chronic condition that causes frequent dislocation of the shoulder joint.
Shoulder Ligament Injuries
Shoulder ligament injuries are injuries to the tough elastic tissues present around the shoulder that connect bones to each other and stabilize the joint.
Shoulder Pain
Pain in the shoulder may suggest an injury, which is more common in athletes participating in sports such as swimming, tennis, pitching, and weightlifting.
Shoulder Dislocation
Sports that involve overhead movements and repeated use of the shoulder at your workplace may lead to sliding of the upper arm bone from the glenoid.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a condition in which you experience pain and stiffness in your shoulder.
Proximal Humerus Fractures
Fractures of the proximal humerus are common in elderly individuals suffering from osteoporosis.
Shoulder Disorders
The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the body that enables a wide range of movements.
Rotator Cuff Pain
The rotator cuff consists of a group of tendons and muscles that surround and stabilize the shoulder joint.
Multidirectional Instability of the Shoulder
Instability may be described by the direction in which the humerus is subluxated or dislocated from the glenoid.
Shoulder Impingement
Shoulder impingement is the inflammation of the tendons of the shoulder joint. It is one of the most common causes of pain in the shoulder.
AC Joint Separation
AC joint separation, also known as shoulder separation, is a condition characterized by damage to the ligaments that connect the acromion to the collar bone.
Snapping Scapula
Snapping scapula or snapping scapula syndrome is also known as scapulothoracic syndrome or scapulocostal syndrome.
