Orthopedic Care for Shoulder and Elbow Issues
Exceptional care in motion. Using emerging technologies and progressive methods, Atrium Health physicians develop surgical and non-surgical treatment plans designed to restore shoulder and elbow function and range of motion.
We treat shoulder and elbow conditions due to:
- Arthritis
- Sports injury
- Accident
- Work-related injury
- Congenital disorder
Shoulder
Consisting of two joints and three bones, the shoulder has the greatest range of motion of any part of the body and is very unstable – easily injured by impact or overuse.
Shoulder conditions include:
- Rotator cuff tear
- Shoulder arthritis
- Shoulder impingement
- Shoulder separation
- SLAP tear (injury to the shoulder socket lining)
- Traumatic shoulder instability
Elbow
The unique positioning and interaction of the three bones in the elbow joint allows for a small amount of rotation as well as hinge action.
Some of the most common injuries to the elbow include:
- Bursitis
- Forearm fracture
- Osteoarthritis
- Rupture of the distal biceps tendon
- Tennis elbow
