The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint that connects the bones of the arms to the upper body through several important ligaments, tendons, cartilage and muscles. It is the most mobile joint in the body, providing a wide range of motion that allows athletes to throw a baseball 100 miles per hour or hit a golf ball over 500 yards. Shoulder pain can range from mild to debilitating and can affect a person’s quality of life. The pain often keeps people from wanting to move the shoulder joint and this can lead to a condition known as frozen shoulder.

Rotator Cuff Tears

Dr. Goradia repairs all rotator cuff tears using minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery. For severe tears he can use specialized techniques to support and reinforce surgical repair with donor tissue. These specialized techniques promote and accelerate healing after surgery.

Biceps Tendon Pain & Injury

A partial or complete tear of the bicep tendon in the shoulder can lead to pain at the front of the shoulder. Bicep tenodesis is an arthroscopic surgical technique that Dr. Goradia helped develop to repair biceps tendon tears.

Shoulder Labral Tears and SLAP Lesions

A tear in the labrum can cause pain, weakness, limited range of motion, and instability leading to more frequent dislocations. Labral repair surgery is performed arthroscopically and involves attaching the labrum and ligaments back to bone.

Outpatient Shoulder Replacement

Shoulder arthritis resulting in pain and reduced arm mobility is the most common reason for a shoulder replacement. Shoulder replacement surgery is performed by Dr. Goradia as an outpatient procedure for patients, allowing for faster recovery.

Possible Causes Of Shoulder Pain

Impingement Syndrome occurs when the rotator cuff tendons and bursa are squeezed under the shoulder blade. This typically happens as a result of bone spurs, injury, repetitive overhead lifting, or muscle weakness. Impingement Syndrome causes bursitis and/or tendonitis, which often leads to shoulder pain. Impingement conditions can usually be treated with conservative measures. If pain continues, Dr. Goradia may recommend arthroscopic surgery to remove the swollen bursa sac and/or to remove bone spurs.

A rotator cuff tear is quite simply a tear of your shoulder’s rotator cuff tendons. A rotator cuff tear can occur in three ways – sports injury, trauma, or repetitive overuse. Rotator cuff tears can be repaired through minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures. Dr. Goradia has developed a new surgical technique for massive rotator cuff tears that have poor tissue quality or are severely retracted and scarred.

Shoulder arthritis is less common than arthritis in other joints. In general, shoulder arthritis is better tolerated than arthritis in the hip or knee because you don’t put all of your body weight on your shoulders. In cases where the arthritis does become severe, a shoulder replacement can restore smooth, pain free movement of the joint. In the case of mild arthritis in the shoulder, arthroscopic surgery may be recommended as a minimally invasive treatment.
