| The shoulder is one of the most complex joints
in the body. The stress that it endures on a daily basis from lifting, carrying,
throwing, tackling puts the ligaments and rotator cuff in harm's way regularly.
Many shoulder problems develop after years of abuse while others may result
after a fall. The surgeons at OIL are proficient in ALL shoulder problems.We
have years of experience in dealing with tears of the rotator cuff, dislocations
and arthritis in the professional athlete to the 75 year old grandmother
and know when the time is right for surgical or nonsurgical care.
Our surgeons practice state of the art techniques using arthroscopic treatment for many conditions such as rotator cuff tears , labral tears and instability. We perform open procedures when necessary to ensure proper healing of complex conditions.Total shoulder replacements for arthritis are done regularly, including the latest technique, the reverse total shoulder for cuff tear arthropathy (arthritis with absent rotator cuff). And we are proficient with all fractures of the shoulder and humerus employing techniques found at major trauma centers.

We have our own MRI so early and accurate diagnosis and treatment can be administered. Give us a call!! |
