Rotator Cuff Repair

Rotator cuff repair is a targeted solution for torn shoulder tendons. It is designed to relieve pain and restore full, functional movement. It’s an essential treatment for patients looking to return to active living with comfort and confidence.

Shoulder Arthroplasty

A proven solution for severe joint damage, shoulder arthroplasty replaces the worn-out shoulder with precision-fitted components, relieving chronic pain and restoring natural movement when conservative care isn’t enough.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Using small incisions and advanced imaging, shoulder arthroscopy provides targeted treatment for common conditions like rotator cuff or labral tears, minimizing pain and downtime while maximizing recovery and results.

Shoulder Instability

A loose or unstable shoulder joint can cause repeated dislocations and chronic pain. Whether caused by injury or ligament weakness, shoulder instability is treatable with customized care, ranging from targeted rehabilitation to advanced surgical repair.

Shoulder Labral Repair

Labral repair addresses tears in the cartilage surrounding the shoulder socket, which helps restore joint stability and lowers the risk of repeated dislocations, particularly after trauma or sports injuries.

SLAP Repair

SLAP repair targets a specific labral tear at the top of the shoulder joint, which is common in athletes and overhead motions. The procedure restores stability, relieves pain, and supports a full return to strength and function.

Subacromial Decompression

This minimally invasive procedure treats impingement by relieving pressure on the rotator cuff, restoring comfort, and improving range of motion for smoother, more natural shoulder function.

Shoulder Anatomy and Function

The shoulder is a dynamic joint with unmatched mobility made up of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Its strength and stability depend on the seamless coordination of all these elements working in harmony.
