Other Shoulder Services

AC Joint Surgery (Acromioclavicular Joint)

The AC joint connects the collarbone to the shoulder blade. Surgery addresses severe joint separations or arthritis unresponsive to conservative treatment.

  • Indications: Severe AC joint dislocation, arthritis, or persistent pain.

  • Procedures: AC Joint Reconstruction or Distal Clavicle Resection (Mumford Procedure).

  • Recovery: 4-6 weeks in a sling, with full recovery in 3-6 months.

  • Benefits: Restores stability, alleviates pain, and improves shoulder function.

Biceps Tendonitis Surgery

Inflammation or damage to the biceps tendon may require surgery when conservative treatments fail.

  • Indications: Persistent pain, weakness, or tendon tears.

  • Procedures: Biceps Tenotomy or Biceps Tenodesis.

  • Recovery: 4-6 weeks in a sling, with gradual rehabilitation. Full recovery in 3-6 months.

  • Benefits: Relieves pain and restores arm strength. Tenodesis maintains more strength for active individuals.

Frozen Shoulder Release (Adhesive Capsulitis)

Surgical release treats severe frozen shoulder cases unresponsive to therapy or injections.

  • Indications: Severe pain and stiffness limiting daily activities.

  • Procedure: Arthroscopic Capsular Release.

  • Recovery: Immediate physical therapy post-surgery. Full recovery in 4-6 months.

  • Benefits: Rapid improvement in mobility and pain with minimally invasive surgery.

SLAP Repair

A SLAP tear involves damage to the labrum, the cartilage rim around the shoulder socket, often affecting athletes or active individuals.

  • Indications: Persistent pain, instability, or pain during overhead activities.

  • Procedure: Arthroscopic repair using sutures and anchors.

  • Recovery: 4-6 weeks in a sling, with gradual therapy. Full recovery in 4-6 months.

  • Benefits: Restores shoulder stability and reduces pain, essential for active lifestyles.

Subacromial Decompression

This procedure treats impingement syndrome, relieving pain caused by compressed rotator cuff tendons.

  • Indications: Shoulder impingement unresponsive to non-surgical treatments.

  • Procedure: Arthroscopic removal of bone spurs and tissue, with reshaping of the acromion.

  • Recovery: 1-2 weeks in a sling, with full recovery in 3-6 months.

  • Benefits: Restores motion, relieves pain, and prevents further rotator cuff damage.
