Shoulder Surgery

Shoulder surgery encompasses various procedures aimed at addressing injuries or conditions affecting the shoulder joint, including rotator cuff tears, arthritis, and shoulder instability. It is performed to relieve pain, restore function, and improve mobility. Common techniques include arthroscopy, a minimally invasive method where small incisions are made, and a camera is used to guide repairs, and open surgery for more extensive repairs.

The surgeon may repair torn tendons, remove bone spurs, or stabilize the joint, depending on the condition. Recovery typically involves physical therapy to strengthen the shoulder and regain range of motion, with patients often returning to normal activities within several months.
