Shoulder damage takes many forms.
Replacements commonly are required due to fractures or chronic conditions, like
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Patients may need a new joint, if they
are experiencing pain, restricted movement, stiffness, atrophy of shoulder
muscles and grinding or catching sensations in the shoulder.
Shoulder replacements are not as
common as those for the knees and hips. Yet, the surgical procedures and
man-made joints for shoulders are every bit as sophisticated and reliable. At
the Bon Secours Orthopaedic Institute, our state-of-the-art facilities allow us
to replace joints and to perform operations using minimally-invasive
techniques:
- Shoulder Replacement
As with joint replacements elsewhere in the body, ones for the shoulder involve removing damaged tissue and installing an artificial joint, usually made of metal and plas - Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is one of the greatest advances in minimally-invasive modern medical technology. This approach allows for thorough examination, careful diagnosis and precise surgery. The procedures also results in quick healing and reduced pain and threat of infection. In the shoulder area, arthroscopic techniques are used for rotator cuff repair and surgery for impingement, torn cartilage, and instability.
Shoulder surgeons at Bon Secours
Orthopaedic Institute also offere innovative procedures like the reverse total
shoulder replacement for those patients who are not good candidates for
standard total shoulder replacements. This reversed joint replacement procedure
adjusts the rotation of the shoulder joint to restore overhead freedom of
movement and provide pain relief to patients.
