Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by shoulder pain and loss of motion, usually between the ages of 40-60. Surgical intervention is rare and the condition is usually treated with cortisone injections and extensive physical therapy.

Shoulder Dislocation

Shoulder Dislocations are common injuries. They can occur in patients of all ages, but are especially frequent in young student athletes. These injuries often occur from direct trauma to the shoulder area during sport when trauma occurs to the shoulder while it’s in an awkward position. At times these injuries can spontaneously reduce (go back in place) at the time of the injury, while other times they require the patient to visit the emergency room to have the shoulder relocated. Even when the shoulder is put back in place successfully, there are labral tears and possible fractures that should be evaluated. While non-operative care is often possible, sometimes surgical repair of these structures can give the shoulder the best chance to be as close to normal as possible for the future. Our surgeons at Modern Orthopaedics are shoulder experts who will examine your shoulder and perform advanced imaging with X-ray and MRI. Each shoulder dislocation can have a unique pattern that determines the patient’s risk of re-dislocation in the future. Our experts will help you come up with a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
