Who is a Candidate For Shoulder Surgery

Patients with Severe Arthritis
Individuals suffering from advanced arthritis in the shoulder joint, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and limited mobility, which significantly impacts their daily activities and quality of life. When non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief, shoulder surgery becomes a viable option.
Individuals with Rotator Cuff Tears
Those who have sustained a significant rotator cuff tear, resulting in shoulder pain, weakness, and decreased range of motion. Surgery is often recommended for large or severe tears that do not respond to conservative treatments like physical therapy and injections.
Patients with Shoulder Fractures or Severe Trauma:
People who have experienced a severe shoulder injury or fracture that compromises the joint's stability and function. Surgical intervention is necessary to repair or reconstruct the damaged structures, restore shoulder function, and alleviate pain.
Those with Shoulder Instability
Individuals experiencing shoulder instability may find it challenging to participate in physical activities or perform everyday tasks. Surgery can help restore shoulder stability and function, enabling them to return to their preferred level of activity with confidence and reduced risk of re-injury.
