Shoulder Surgery
The shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body. Its function requires a delicate balance between the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments of the shoulder. Even small alterations, such as rotator cuff tears, can lead to significant functional limitations. Symptoms of shoulder problems, such as pain and limited motion, often overlap making the diagnosis of shoulder problems and shoulder surgery complex.
