Quiz: Do You Understand Shoulder Surgery?

Questions
 
True
False
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.

4

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.

5

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.

    Don't waste your time with a surgeon who doesn't have the courage to operate so you'll be jumping through hoops for over half a year for nothing and wasting medical resources because the surgeon will find a way to cancel your surgery with help from his office clown who doesn't know how to coordinate his clown office. If you visited this surgeon at his Work Safe BC office then I would suggest opening a complaint file with the Ministry of Labour and WCAT and then Google: WSBC Lawyers

    I have had 2 shoulder replacements over the period of 10 years. One a hemi arthroplasty and the next was a complete reverse shoulder replacement. Both were on the right shoulder. To be clear, these 2 surgeries were performed not because of complications or failures but because Dr Chin was extremely concerned of my quality of life due to my young age. Straight up, Dr Chin is amazing ! He is a straight shooter and has a great sense of humour ! Both my surgeries were successful and I healed up quickly ! I have had experiences with other orthopaedic surgeons in the past (knee and ankle) and Dr. Chin is by far top notch. He is attentive and really takes what you are saying seriously. If you are looking for a Dr that gives you clear and concise information without sugar coating the issues, he is your guy !!! He most certainly the Dr you want to see !
