Questions

1

The usual treatment for shoulder injuries is surgical options.

Explanation:

The usual treatment for shoulder injuries is non-surgical options such as medications, bracing and physiotherapy. Shoulder surgery is generally only explored if the non-operative options fail.

2

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is often performed to repair soft tissue injuries.

Explanation:

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery (otherwise known as keyhole surgery) can be a good option for some patients. It is often performed to repair soft tissue injuries, and enables surgeons to introduce a fiber optic camera through a two- to three- millimeter incision.

3

For more severe shoulder injuries, surgeons may recommend a reverse shoulder replacement surgery.

Explanation:

For more severe shoulder injuries, surgeons may recommend a reverse shoulder replacement surgery. It is often done to repair rotator cuff tendons that have been damaged, often by arthritis.

Patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations may won't benefit from surgical reconstruction, only from non-surgical options.

Explanation:

Patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations may benefit from surgical reconstruction of the damaged tissues in the shoulder joint. This usually involves an arthroscopic day procedure, where the surgeon identifies the torn labrum or ligaments that have occurred with each shoulder dislocation.

Following shoulder surgery, most patients will benefit from physiotherapy.

Explanation:

Following shoulder surgery, most patients will benefit from physiotherapy to get their range of motion back, decrease pain and increase strength.

The Shoulder Centre located at Rouge Valley Health System focus's on the following problems: Shoulder pain with no diagnosis Rotator cuff tears Acute long head of biceps tendon tears Shoulder Impingement, calcific tendonitis and tendonitis Shoulder dislocations, labral tears, and recurrent shoulder instability Glenohumeral joint arthritis Acromioclavicular joint arthritis Clavicle, Scapula and Proximal Humerus fractures Pectoralis major tear Shoulder pain with no diagnosis For many patients with shoulder problems it can be challenging just to receive a final diagnosis and treatment plan. There are many pain generators in the shoulder. There is often an overlap in the symptoms between several structures including the rotator cuff, biceps tendon, acromioclavicular joint (AC joint) and glenohumeral joint/labrum. One of our major goals at The Shoulder Centre is to shorten the time to diagnosis and to provide a treatment plan that will see you through to better shoulder function.
