Biceps Tendinitis / Rupture
Biceps tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of the upper biceps tendon. Common symptoms are pain and weakness in the front of the shoulder
A condition that causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint, limiting its range of motion.
Labral Tear/ Shoulder Dislocation
A tear in the ring of cartilage (labrum) that lines the edge of the shoulder joint socket. This kind of surgery is performed for shoulder dislocation.
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons that are the primary tendons of the shoulder. Symptoms of rotator cuff tears include pain, weakness, and decreased motion. Partial thickness tears may be managed non-operatively, whereas full thickness tears typically require surgery to address pain and functional deficit.
Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Arthritis
The Acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) sits directly above the shoulder. AC joint arthritis happens in heavy weight lifters and people who perform repetitive overhead activities. Management includes injections, pain control, and when needed arthroscopic excision.
Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Dislocation
Dislocation of the joint above the shoulder, typically from high energy falls ( eg bicycle accidents, fall from height, etc.). Depending on the severity of the injury, treatment will include either physiotherapy or surgery for fixation.
Loss of the space and cartilage cap between the bones in the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint. This leads to pain and limitation in movement. When non-operative measures fail, may require surgery for shoulder replacement.
Clavicle fractures are amongst the most common fractures around the shoulder. Even though most fractures are managed non-operatively, surgery is indicated in cases of displacement and shortening to maintain optimal function of the shoulder joint.
Proximal Humerus Fracture
Proximal Humerus fractures are extemely common. They are by default, osteoporotic fractures that can happen with low energy injuries. Moist fractures are managed without surgery, until the bone heals. On occasion, those fratures require surgery with plate fixation, and in some cases shoulder replacement
